China Petroleum & Chemical

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation is an energy and chemical company involved in oil, gas, and chemical operations in Mainland China, Singapore, and internationally with a market cap of HK$738.49 billion.

Operations: China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation's revenue segments include Refining (CN¥1.52 billion), Chemicals (CN¥528.87 million), Exploration and Production (CN¥304.40 million), and Marketing and Distribution (CN¥1.77 billion).

Dividend Yield: 8.3%

China Petroleum & Chemical's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Hong Kong, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 164.6%. Despite an increase in dividends over the past decade, payments have been volatile with significant annual drops. The company's recent production and sales figures show mixed results, with oil and gas output rising while domestic refined oil product sales declined. A recent share buyback and strategic alliances may impact future performance.
