Dividend Yield: 7.0%
SINOPEC Engineering (Group) Co., Ltd. has shown a modest earnings growth of 3.9% annually over the past five years, yet its dividend payments demonstrate volatility and unreliability in the same period.

However, with a dividend yield of 6.97%, it falls short compared to Hong Kong's top dividend payers at 7.84%.
