The Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) has plunged by 17.68% throughout 2026. Amid this downturn, a number of issuers in the capital market have, on average, recorded dividend yield rates that outperform the JCI’s decline over the year.

Consistent dividend payouts serve as one of the key indicators for market participants in assessing a company’s financial health. Investors generally pay close attention to average dividend yield metrics over specific periods to gauge the effectiveness of long-term investment value.

Based on historical data accumulated over the past five years, there are 20 issuers that have consistently recorded average yields at the top levels. These returns far exceed this year’s JCI increase or the five-year average of just 2.54%.

Dominance of the Energy and Commodities Sectors

Examining the list of issuers with the highest dividend yields reveals that the energy and commodities sectors, particularly coal mining, continue to dominate the top rankings. Issuers such as ADRO, BSSR, PTBA, and ITMG have consistently delivered significant returns to their shareholders.

The commodity cycle, which experienced price surges in recent years, has been one of the driving factors behind the high net profits of these companies, which are then distributed as dividends.

At the top spot, SCPI has recorded an exceptionally high average of 100.26%. This elevated percentage is generally influenced by a history of substantial dividend payouts relative to its share price.

The following is the list of 20 issuers with the highest average dividend yields over the past five years:

Fundamentals as the Primary Basis for Decisions

High historical yields are indeed a variable that always attracts public attention, but this is not the sole determinant of investment success.

Past stellar performance cannot be taken as an absolute guarantee of future results, especially for groups of issuers that operate and are highly dependent on global commodity price volatility. Therefore, these average yield figures are more proportionate when used as an initial screening parameter.

Market participants are still advised to dissect company fundamentals more comprehensively. Ratios of net profit growth, debt management levels, and company capital allocation plans greatly determine the sustainability of dividend payouts in the coming years.

Through a structured diversification scheme for instruments, the risk of capital depreciation or dividend traps can be controlled, thereby maintaining the security of financial portfolios.
