Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. operates as a commercial bank offering a range of financial products and services, with a market capitalization of approximately HK$520.19 billion.
Operations: Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. generates revenue primarily through Corporate Banking Business (CN¥97.35 billion), Personal Banking (CN¥81.71 billion), and Treasury Business (CN¥20.99 billion).

The bank issued CNY 26 billion in bonds and approved a dividend rate of 4.07% for domestic preference shares totaling RMB 1.83 billion due in September 2024. While its dividend yield of 6.48% is below the top quartile for Hong Kong stocks, dividends have been reliable and are well-covered by earnings with a payout ratio forecast at 31.1% over the next three years, indicating stability despite a lower yield relative to peers.
Lenovo Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Lenovo Group Limited is an investment holding company that develops, manufactures, and markets technology products and services with a market capitalization of approximately HK$149.85 billion.
Operations: Lenovo Group's revenue is primarily generated through three segments: the Intelligent Devices Group (IDG) which earned $44.60 billion, the Solutions and Services Group (SSG) with $7.47 billion, and the Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) contributing $8.92 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.1%
Lenovo Group's dividend yield at 3.14% remains modest compared to the Hong Kong market's top quartile at 7.79%. However, its dividends are well-supported by a payout ratio of 57.8% and a cash payout ratio of 83.1%, indicating sustainability from both earnings and cash flow perspectives. Over the past decade, dividends have shown stability and reliability with consistent growth, despite recent shareholder dilution and lower profit margins year-over-year—1.8% currently versus 2.6% previously—highlighting some financial pressures but overall resilience in maintaining shareholder returns.
