In a week marked by cautious Federal Reserve commentary and political uncertainty, global markets experienced notable fluctuations, with U.S. stocks seeing broad-based declines despite some recovery efforts. Amid these volatile conditions, investors often turn to dividend stocks as a potential source of steady income and stability. A good dividend stock typically offers consistent payouts and resilience in uncertain economic climates, making them appealing in today's market environment where interest rate paths remain unpredictable.

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

Dividend Yield: 9.5%

S.A.S. Dragon Holdings' dividend yield of 9.52% is among the top in Hong Kong, but its sustainability is questionable as dividends aren't covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the past decade.
