Dividend Yield: 8.8%

Ever Sunshine Services Group has declared a final dividend of HK$0.0914 per share for 2023, with dividends well-covered by earnings (payout ratio 49.8%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio 25%). Despite an unstable dividend track record over the past five years, the company’s recent share buyback program could enhance net asset value and earnings per share. Trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, it offers potential for capital appreciation alongside its high dividend yield.

Sino Land (SEHK:83)

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

Overview: Sino Land Company Limited is an investment holding company that invests in, develops, manages, and trades in properties with a market cap of HK$70.75 billion.

Operations: Sino Land Company Limited generates revenue from property sales (HK$5.41 billion), property rentals (HK$2.78 billion), property management and other services (HK$1.29 billion), hotel operations (HK$923.34 million), financing (HK$61.05 million), and investments in securities (HK$45.18 million).

Dividend Yield: 7.1%

Sino Land's dividend payments have been growing steadily and reliably over the past decade, with a stable payout ratio of 78.9%, indicating coverage by earnings. However, there isn't enough data to confirm if these dividends are covered by free cash flow. Despite trading at 65.2% below its estimated fair value and offering a 7.09% yield, it falls short compared to top-tier dividend payers in Hong Kong (8.23%). Earnings grew by 51.3% last year but shareholders faced dilution during the same period.
