As global markets navigate through fluctuating conditions, the Hong Kong stock market has shown resilience, making it an intriguing area for investors looking for dividend yields. Amidst this backdrop, identifying stocks that consistently offer dividends can provide a semblance of stability and potential income in uncertain times.

Dividend Yield: 8.5%
Bank of Chongqing's dividend yield stands at 8.48%, ranking in the top 25% in Hong Kong's market, despite a history of volatility over the past decade. Recently, it declared a final dividend of RMB 4.08 per 10 shares for 2023, with payment due on July 19, 2024.

Dividend Yield: 7.0%
China Shineway Pharmaceutical Group offers a dividend yield of 7.05%, which is below the top quartile in Hong Kong's market at 7.97%. Despite this, its dividends are sustainably covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 32.7% and 51.2% respectively. However, the company has experienced volatility in its dividend payments over the last decade, indicating some risk in payment consistency. Trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation relative to peers.

Dividend Yield: 9.5%
China BlueChemical has shown a growing dividend trend over the past decade, with a recent increase to HK$0.2273 per share as of June 2024. Despite this growth, the dividends have been volatile and are not well-covered by cash flows, with a cash payout ratio of 119.2%. The company trades below its estimated fair value by 11.9%, which could indicate undervaluation. However, high non-cash earnings and an unstable payout history due to significant annual drops suggest potential risks for consistent dividend payments.
