Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Four Seas Mercantile Holdings has a stable and reliable dividend history over the past decade, with recent affirmations of a 6.5 HK cents per share dividend for the year ended March 2024.

Despite trading below estimated fair value, its yield of 3.77% is relatively low in Hong Kong's market context. Recent share buybacks aim to enhance net assets and earnings per share, potentially supporting future dividend stability.
