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

Overview: China Nonferrous Mining Corporation Limited (SEHK:1258) is an investment holding company involved in the exploration, mining, processing, leaching, smelting, and sale of copper cathodes, blister copper, and copper anodes with a market cap of HK$20.91 billion.

Operations: China Nonferrous Mining Corporation Limited generates revenue from leaching ($1.10 billion) and smelting ($2.56 billion).

Dividend Yield: 4.3%

China Nonferrous Mining Corporation Limited has shown a mixed picture for dividend investors. Despite recent earnings guidance indicating a profit increase to US$217 million due to higher copper prices, its dividend yield of 4.32% is below the top-tier Hong Kong market average. While dividends are well covered by both earnings and cash flows (payout ratios of 40% and 26.8%, respectively), the company’s dividend history has been volatile with periods of significant drops, making it less reliable for consistent income seekers.

The company's earnings and cash flows sufficiently cover the dividends, with payout ratios of 41.2% and 59.2% respectively. Recent earnings growth to CNY 399.77 million from CNY 347.89 million last year supports its current dividend yield, which is among the top in Hong Kong's market.
