Operations: Luyang Energy-Saving Materials Co., Ltd. generates revenue through the production and sale of energy-efficient materials, including ceramic fiber, alumina fiber, soluble fiber, basalt fiber, and insulating firebrick for domestic and international markets.

Dividend Yield: 6.5%

Luyang Energy-Saving Materials offers a dividend yield of 6.46%, placing it among the top 25% of dividend payers in China. However, the sustainability is questionable as dividends are not well covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the past decade. The company's payout ratio is high at 87.1%, and its price-to-earnings ratio of 13.5x suggests it trades at good value compared to peers, despite recent declines in earnings and revenue.

Dividend Yield: 3.9%
