Despite this, its dividend yield of 3.22% lags behind the top quartile in Hong Kong's market.

SinoMedia Holding's dividend yield of 18.66% ranks among the top in Hong Kong but raises sustainability concerns, given a high cash payout ratio of 516%. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 42.7%, dividends are not well covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the past decade. Earnings grew by 30.7% last year, yet historical unreliability in dividend payments may deter investors seeking consistent income streams.

Despite this, recent earnings growth—55.5% over the past year—indicates potential for future improvement in financial health.
