Tsingtao Brewery (SEHK:168)

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

Overview: Tsingtao Brewery Company Limited, along with its subsidiaries, is involved in the production, distribution, wholesale, and retail sale of beer products across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and internationally with a market cap of HK$95.45 billion.

Operations: Tsingtao Brewery's revenue primarily comes from the production and sale of beer products across its various markets.

Dividend Yield: 3.7%

Tsingtao Brewery's dividend yield of 3.74% is modest compared to top-tier dividend payers in Hong Kong, yet it has maintained stable and growing dividends over the past decade. However, its high cash payout ratio suggests dividends are not well-covered by free cash flow, raising sustainability concerns. Recent earnings showed a slight increase in net income despite a drop in sales, indicating resilience. Leadership changes with Mr. Jiang as Chairman are expected to maintain strategic continuity without impacting operations negatively.
