HKG:0388 HKEX This new Dividend Challenger came to a sudden stop. A 20% dividend cut did it. If you look a the payout ratio over the last 5 years you see that 90% was the sweetspot. Keeping that and having less EPS over 2022 makes the dividend payments less And so we get to say goodbye to this short term Dividend Challenger.
