• As waves of regulatory reform of mainland China swept through
Hang Seng Index (HSI), market concerns are reflected in the
downward trending index price since October, contrary to the upbeat
dividend yield.
• The dividend index points (DIPs) of HSI are expected to
increase from 708.5 in 2021 to 747.8 in 2022, representing a 5.6%
year-on-year (y/y) growth.
• The Banking sector, which has seen regulatory overhaul in
capital reserve and deposit rates to improve profitability and
liquidity this year, is expected to continue to dominate the
dividend payments in the market, contributing 43.7% of the total
DIPs for 2022, followed by the Real Estate, Insurance, and Energy
sectors.
• Despite concerns over the tightening regulations on China's
technology giants (Alibaba, Meituan, and Tencent), the DIPs of Hang
Seng Tech Index are expected to increase from 24.8 in 2021 to 26.7
in 2022, representing a 7.7% y/y growth, as the top dividend
contributors (Lenovo, Haier Smart, and ASM Pacific Technology) are
mostly immune from the regulatory changes.
