Guangdong Provincial Expressway Development (SZSE:000429)

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

Overview: Guangdong Provincial Expressway Development Co., Ltd. operates expressways and bridges in China through its subsidiaries, with a market cap of CN¥23.83 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.3%

Guangdong Provincial Expressway Development offers a dividend yield of 4.27%, placing it among the top 25% in the Chinese market. However, its high cash payout ratio of 99.3% indicates dividends are not well-covered by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns. While earnings cover dividends with a reasonable payout ratio of 70.1%, historical volatility and unreliability over the past decade are drawbacks for dividend stability. The stock's P/E ratio of 16.4x suggests potential value relative to the broader market average.
