The problem
The highest yields are often the next dividend cuts
The yield is the dividend as a percentage of the share price. So when the price drops, the yield goes up. Prices often drop because the company is in trouble. That is why stocks at the top of a yield list are often the ones about to cut their dividend.
The yield alone won't tell you this. Our Safety score checks if the company earns enough to keep paying.
Pillar 2 · Dividend Safety
| Sector | Yield | Safety |
|---|---|---|
| Telecom services | 7.07% | Fair |
| Property investment | 6.72% | Fair |
| Gas distribution | 4.67% | Caution |
| Electricity supply | 4.52% | Good |
| Electricity | 3.95% | Fair |
| Property development | 3.61% | Fair |
| Property conglomerate | 1.88% | Caution |
Almost the same yield. Very different risk. 4.67% scores Caution. 4.52% scores Good.

Built from scratch by a data analyst
Before 2018 there was no ready-made list of Hong Kong dividend growth stocks. So Petra van der Vegt, a data analyst in Hong Kong, built one herself.
Since then she has collected the data and monitored every stock on the list single-handedly. Every stock is checked with the same three questions and the same targets.
You make the investment decisions. HKDS gives you a better place to start.
