Commercial Bank of Dubai PSC (DFM:CBD)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Commercial Bank of Dubai PSC offers commercial and retail banking services in the United Arab Emirates, with a market capitalization of AED29.17 billion.

Operations: Commercial Bank of Dubai PSC generates revenue through its key segments: Personal Banking (AED2.25 billion), Institutional Banking (AED1.54 billion), and Corporate Banking (AED1.20 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6%

Commercial Bank of Dubai PSC recently reported robust earnings growth, with net income rising to AED 3.5 billion for 2025, reflecting a solid financial position. The bank announced an annual dividend of AED 0.5862 per share, maintaining its stable and reliable dividend history over the past decade despite being slightly below top-tier yields in the AE market. With a payout ratio of 52%, dividends are comfortably covered by earnings, although the bank has a high level of bad loans at 4.1%.

Adeer Real Estate (SASE:9634)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Adeer Real Estate Company offers real estate marketing services to individuals, companies, and institutions in Saudi Arabia, with a market cap of SAR604.50 million.

Operations: Adeer Real Estate Company generates revenue primarily from its real estate marketing segment, amounting to SAR145.33 million.

Dividend Yield: 8.3%

Adeer Real Estate's dividend yield of 8.27% ranks in the top 25% of Saudi Arabian dividend payers, though its recent initiation means reliability and growth trends are unestablished. The low payout ratio of 3.2% indicates strong earnings coverage, complemented by a cash payout ratio of 44.9%. A new agreement with Sumou Taibah Real Estate promises positive financial impacts from property management services at the Sumou Gate project, enhancing potential revenue streams for Adeer.

Shufersal (TASE:SAE)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Shufersal Ltd. operates a chain of supermarkets under the Shufersal brand name in Israel, with a market cap of ₪11.35 billion.

Operations: Shufersal Ltd.'s revenue primarily comes from its retail chains, contributing ₪14.58 billion, with an additional ₪275 million generated from its real estate sector.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

Shufersal's dividend payments are covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 81.3%, and cash flows, with a low cash payout ratio of 21%. However, the dividends have been volatile over the past decade. The company's recent earnings report showed decreased sales and net income for Q3 2025 compared to the previous year, potentially impacting future dividend stability. Despite trading below estimated fair value, its dividend yield is lower than top-tier payers in Israel.
