Xi'an Shaangu Power
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Xi'an Shaangu Power Co., Ltd. offers systematic solutions and services in the People's Republic of China, with a market capitalization of CN¥15.20 billion.
Operations: Xi'an Shaangu Power Co., Ltd. generates revenue through its provision of systematic solutions and services in the People’s Republic of China.
Dividend Yield: 4.1%
Xi'an Shaangu Power's dividend yield of 4.06% ranks in the top 25% of CN market payers, yet its reliability is questionable due to volatility and a high payout ratio of 101.2%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings. Despite recent revenue growth to CNY 7.29 billion, net income declined, affecting dividend sustainability. The stock trades at a favorable P/E ratio of 15.9x compared to the market's 36.1x, offering potential value amidst these challenges.
Sanyo Shokai
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Sanyo Shokai Ltd. is a Japanese company involved in the manufacture and sale of men's and women's clothing and accessories, with a market cap of ¥31.67 billion.
Operations: Sanyo Shokai Ltd. generates its revenue primarily through the production and distribution of apparel and accessories for both men and women in Japan.
Dividend Yield: 4.3%
Sanyo Shokai's dividend yield of 4.25% places it among the top 25% in Japan, supported by a low payout ratio of 44.6%, ensuring dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows. However, its dividend history is marked by volatility and unreliability over the past decade, despite recent growth. The company trades at a significant discount to estimated fair value, enhancing potential appeal for investors seeking value amidst its ongoing share buyback program aimed at boosting shareholder returns.
