Same story with DTB. It's not the low DPS that bothers me as much as the awful RoE.
The best dividend payers are foreigners eg SCBK, BAT and even EABL.
CARB is an exception on the local front.
Re: dividend payers, I concur on the first two. EABL? I bailed after 6 years of consistently getting <4 DY.
I was referring to the Dividend Payout Ratio and not the absolute dividend or DY.
The dividend will vary based on earnings, cashflows and future needs.
EABL has a high DPR during the recent.
SCBK - 65%+ (of late it has been 80%)
BAT - 80%+ (even 100% is not unknown)
CARB - 80% (past 2 years has been almost 100%)
DTB and Jubilee are less than 25% DPR from a low RoE!
