Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: China Resources Land Limited is an investment holding company involved in the investment, development, management, and sale of properties in the People’s Republic of China with a market cap of HK$186.12 billion.

Operations: China Resources Land Limited generates revenue from several segments, including CN¥239.18 billion from its Development Property Business, CN¥23.92 billion from the Investment Property Business, CN¥15.66 billion through its Eco-system Elementary Business, and CN¥14.74 billion via Asset-light Management Business.

Dividend Yield: 5.9%

China Resources Land offers a mixed picture for dividend investors. While the interim dividend of RMB 0.2 per share is well-covered by earnings due to a low payout ratio, it is not supported by free cash flow, with a high cash payout ratio of 90.8%. Recent sales figures show declines in gross contracted sales and GFA year over year, which could impact future dividends. Despite this, the company has maintained stable and reliable dividends over the past decade.
