Great Wall Motor’s dividend payments, although covered by a low payout ratio of 32.1% and cash payout ratio of 39.1%, have been volatile over the past decade, indicating an unstable track record. Despite trading at a good value relative to peers and being significantly below its estimated fair value, its dividend yield of 3.52% is modest compared to top payers in Hong Kong. Recent strategic collaborations may enhance future growth prospects but do not directly impact dividend stability.

Despite this, dividends have grown in the last 10 years. The bank faces challenges with high non-performing loans at 3.5%.
