Kunlun Energy
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Kunlun Energy Company Limited is an investment holding company involved in the exploration, development, production, and sale of crude oil and natural gas, with a market cap of approximately HK$65.29 billion.
Operations: Kunlun Energy's revenue primarily comes from the sales of natural gas excluding LPG (CN¥149.69 billion), followed by sales of LPG (CN¥25.97 billion), and LNG processing and terminal operations (CN¥12.64 billion), with additional contributions from exploration and production activities (CN¥391 million).
Dividend Yield: 4.4%
Kunlun Energy's dividend payments have grown over the past decade, supported by a reasonable cash payout ratio of 37.8% and earnings coverage at 67.3%. However, the dividends have been volatile and are considered unreliable due to historical inconsistencies. Despite trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, its yield of 4.43% is below top-tier levels in Hong Kong. Recent auditor changes may not directly impact dividend stability but reflect ongoing corporate governance adjustments.
