Overview: China Resources Land Limited is an investment holding company involved in the investment, development, management, and sale of properties in the People’s Republic of China, with a market cap of approximately HK$164.01 billion.
Operations: China Resources Land Limited generates revenue from several key segments, including CN¥216.89 billion from its development property business, CN¥23.92 billion from its investment property business, CN¥15.66 billion from its eco-system elementary business, and CN¥14.74 billion from its asset-light management business.
Dividend Yield: 6.7%
China Resources Land has consistently increased dividend payments over the past decade, maintaining stability with a low payout ratio of 36.9%, suggesting dividends are well-covered by earnings. However, its high cash payout ratio of 90.8% indicates dividends are not well-supported by cash flows, raising sustainability concerns. Recent debt financing agreements totaling CNH 3.5 billion could impact financial flexibility, though trading at a significant discount to fair value may present investment opportunities despite these challenges.
Overview: DaShenLin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. manufactures, wholesales, and retails pharmaceutical products in China with a market cap of CN¥17.74 billion.
Operations: DaShenLin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. generates its revenue through the manufacturing, wholesale, and retail of pharmaceutical products in China.
Dividend Yield: 4%
DaShenLin Pharmaceutical Group's dividend yield of 3.98% ranks in the top 25% in China, though its track record is volatile with payments over six years. The payout ratio of 82.8% suggests earnings cover dividends, while a cash payout ratio of 47.5% indicates strong cash flow support. Despite trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value and recent share buybacks totaling CNY 100.72 million, declining profit margins raise concerns about future dividend stability.
Overview: Sinoma Science & Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the research, design, manufacture, and sale of specialty fiber composite materials in China with a market cap of CN¥21.87 billion.
Operations: Sinoma Science & Technology Co., Ltd. generates revenue from its operations in the specialty fiber composite materials sector in China.
Dividend Yield: 4.3%
Sinoma Science & Technology Ltd.'s dividend yield of 4.3% is among the top 25% in China, but its payments have been unreliable over the past decade due to volatility and coverage issues. The company's high payout ratio of 83.5% covers dividends with earnings, yet a cash payout ratio exceeding 500% indicates inadequate cash flow support. Recent executive changes and declining profits—net income dropped to CNY 608.37 million from CNY 1.71 billion—may impact future dividend sustainability.
