Operations: LX International Corp.'s revenue is primarily derived from its Logistics Division at ₩7.50 billion, followed closely by Trading/New Business at ₩7.50 billion, and the Resource Sector contributing ₩1.12 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.3%
LX International's dividend payments are well-covered by both earnings, with a payout ratio of 25.6%, and cash flows, with a cash payout ratio of 11.7%. Despite an attractive dividend yield in the top 25% of the Korean market, its eight-year track record has been unreliable and volatile.
