Operations: Essex Bio-Technology Limited generates its revenue primarily from two segments: Surgical, contributing HK$871.44 million, and Ophthalmology, with HK$747.39 million.
Dividend Yield: 4.1%
Essex Bio-Technology's dividend yield of 4.07% is below the top quartile in Hong Kong, but its low payout ratios—22.7% for earnings and 32.3% for cash flows—indicate strong coverage and sustainability. Despite growth in dividend payments over the past decade, they have been volatile with significant annual drops, making them unreliable.
