As global markets navigate the uncertainties surrounding the incoming Trump administration's policies, investors are witnessing significant fluctuations across various sectors. With U.S. stocks retracting some gains and interest rate expectations shifting, many are turning their attention to dividend stocks as a stable option amidst market volatility. In such an environment, a good dividend stock is often characterized by its ability to provide consistent income and potential for growth, making it an attractive consideration for those seeking resilience in their investment portfolios.

Dividend Yield: 7.6%
Sansiri offers a high dividend yield of 7.61%, placing it in the top 25% of Thai market payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a cash payout ratio of 153.5% and volatile past payments with over 20% annual drops.

The stock trades at good value with a P/E ratio significantly below the market average.

Bank of Changsha's dividend yield of 4.34% ranks it among the top 25% in China's market, supported by a low payout ratio of 19.5%, indicating strong earnings coverage and sustainability. While dividends have been stable and growing over six years, their relatively short history may concern some investors. The stock trades at an estimated 73% below fair value, suggesting potential for capital appreciation alongside its attractive dividend profile.

Despite this coverage, the company's dividend history is volatile and unreliable over the past decade.
