HK Blue Chip Dividend Yields

Published on March 31 2019

去年12月底年結或半年結的公司，絕大部份已公佈業績，有讀者想知道藍籌派息一覽，統計50隻成份股最新一次派息紀錄，附以除淨、收息日期作為參考。如果綜合過去兩年整體藍籌派息紀錄，當中有幾點特別發現，甚至是近日或未來一個月將會跑贏的，亦可能在名單上有迹可尋。先講非中資股，24隻股份中，只有5隻股息零增長，其餘皆錄得升幅（電能及港鐵如撇除特別息因素，分別是零增長及增加7%）。股息五厘以上的有三隻，分別是滙控（005）、電能（006）及金沙（1928），前者逾六厘息冠絕非中資股藍籌，全年維持派4港元。非中資股股息增幅較顯著的，要數傳統家族持股公司，長和（001）及長實（1113）股息增逾一成，太古（019）年度派息更飆升43%。至於股息一直偏低的藍籌，年度股息增幅亦不錯，銀娛（027）、創科（669）及友邦（1299），增幅同樣超過兩成以上。中資藍籌，26隻共有9隻（34%）減派息，如果業績差還情有可原，但偏偏部分業績對辦，如中石化（386）及中移動（941）盈利續增，前者仍然減派兩成，後者更改變派息政策，一分不加，在沒有事先張揚情況下，結果股東就是用腳投票，寧沽貨不要息。...
