Operations: Jiaze Renewables Corporation Limited generates revenue through its activities in the new energy sector, including project development, construction, sales, operations, and maintenance.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%

Jiaze Renewables offers a mixed picture for dividend investors. While its price-to-earnings ratio of 11.6x suggests good value compared to the CN market average, its dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the past seven years, despite being covered by earnings (41.3% payout ratio) and cash flows (57%). The recent private placement raising CNY 1.2 billion could impact future dividends, but it remains in the top tier with a 3.28% yield in China.

Dividend Yield: 3.9%

EFG International's dividend history has been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, though dividends have increased overall. The current payout ratio of 55.2% suggests dividends are covered by earnings, with future coverage expected at 60.6%.
