Dividend Yield: 6.8%
Stella International Holdings offers a mixed dividend profile. Its dividends, covered by both earnings (72.6% payout ratio) and cash flows (54.9% cash payout ratio), have grown over the past decade but remain volatile, with fluctuations exceeding 20%. Recent unaudited revenue figures show a slight decrease in Q4 2024 to US$385.4 million but an annual increase to US$1.55 billion, indicating potential for future stability despite Ms. Shi's upcoming board retirement potentially affecting governance continuity.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Pacific Basin Shipping Limited is an investment holding company that provides dry bulk shipping services globally, with a market cap of HK$8.93 billion.
Operations: Pacific Basin Shipping Limited generates revenue primarily through its dry bulk shipping services, amounting to $2.58 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.3%
Pacific Basin Shipping's dividend profile is marked by volatility despite recent increases, with a proposed final dividend of HK$0.051 per share for 2024. While dividends are well-covered by earnings (47.2% payout ratio) and cash flows (28.7% cash payout ratio), the yield remains low compared to top Hong Kong payers. Earnings grew significantly to US$131.7 million in 2024, supporting dividend sustainability amid leadership changes, including a new CFO appointment effective May 2025.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Bosideng International Holdings Limited operates in the apparel business in the People's Republic of China with a market capitalization of HK$46.99 billion.
Operations: Bosideng International Holdings Limited's revenue is primarily derived from its Down Apparels segment, generating CN¥20.66 billion, followed by Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) Management at CN¥2.97 billion and Ladieswear Apparels at CN¥735.22 million, with Diversified Apparels contributing CN¥254.12 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.9%
Bosideng International Holdings' dividend payments, though covered by earnings (78.3% payout ratio) and cash flows (77.7% cash payout ratio), have been unreliable over the past decade due to volatility. The company recently initiated a share buyback program, potentially enhancing net asset value and earnings per share. Despite a lower yield compared to top Hong Kong payers, Bosideng's earnings growth of 41.4% last year underpins its dividend sustainability amidst trading below fair value estimates by 19.9%.
