The stock closing estimate survey conducted by ForInvest provides valuable insights into the investment approaches used by market participants. According to the survey results, 62% of respondents indicated that they adopt long-term investment strategies based on dividend yield and share buyback programs.

Investor Preferences in Dividend and Buyback Policies

■The data collected via ForInvest suggests that investors prioritize not only liquidity but also stable return expectations in shaping their strategies.

■Participants expressed 70% satisfaction with the dividend policies of companies listed on Borsa Istanbul, particularly in energy and banking sectors.

Risk-Return Balance in Investment Strategies

■Survey results show that 65% of investors opt for low-volatility stocks to maintain risk-return balance, reflecting efforts to preserve income levels amid inflationary pressures.

■Share buyback programs, especially at companies like Aselsan and Garanti BBVA, attracted significant attention, with 38% of investors choosing to benefit from these initiatives.

Aylin Güneş Note: 'This survey underscores the critical role of dividend and buyback programs in ensuring long-term portfolio stability rather than short-term gains. The observed trend in energy and financial services may increase the evaluation opportunities for companies with low dividend payouts but stable growth potential.'
