Dividend Yield: 7.0%

Anhui Expressway's 6.98% dividend yield trails behind the top Hong Kong dividend payers, with a coverage concern as it lacks sufficient free cash flows. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 60%, indicating earnings coverage, the company faces challenges in sustaining its dividend due to financial constraints. Recent management changes and extended project timelines could impact operational stability and financial performance, potentially influencing future dividends. The company's earnings have grown by 10.8% over the past year, but this growth might not adequately support ongoing dividend payments without robust free cash flow generation.
