China Sunsine Chemical Holdings (SGX:QES)

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

Overview: China Sunsine Chemical Holdings Ltd. is an investment holding company that manufactures and sells specialty chemicals across various regions including the People's Republic of China, Asia, the United States, and Europe, with a market capitalization of approximately SGD448.09 million.

Operations: China Sunsine Chemical Holdings Ltd. generates its revenue primarily from the sale of rubber chemicals amounting to CN¥4.39 billion, along with contributions from heating power at CN¥202.99 million and waste treatment services totaling CN¥25.06 million.

Dividend Yield: 5.2%

China Sunsine Chemical Holdings' dividend yield is below the top quartile in the SG market, reflecting a lower payout compared to leading dividend payers. While dividends have grown over a decade, they have been volatile and unreliable. However, with a low payout ratio of 21.1%, dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows (34% cash payout), indicating sustainability despite past instability. Recent leadership changes and capacity expansion plans could impact future performance.

Shimojima's recent dividend increase to JPY 27.00 per share reflects growth but highlights volatility, as past payments have been inconsistent and unreliable.
