Discover the “Dogs of the Hang Seng” for 2025: High Dividend Stocks on the HKEX

As part of our annual tradition, we take inspiration from the “Dogs of the Dow” concept and apply it to the Hong Kong Stock Market. The result? The “2025 Dogs of the Hang Seng,” a fascinating list to kick off the year with fresh perspectives on dividend stocks.

Please note: As with all content on this website, this is not financial advice. It’s purely entertainment with numbers to spark ideas and discussions.

The Theory Behind the Strategy

  1. Identify Top-Yielding Blue Chips:
    On December 31, screen all Hong Kong Blue Chip stocks to identify the top 10 companies with the highest dividend yields. This analysis is based on dividends paid during the most recently completed financial year.
  2. Allocate Investment Funds:
    Assign HK$10,000 to each of the 10 selected companies, creating a portfolio evenly distributed with HK$100,000. While this may seem impractical for everyday investors, it provides a standardized way to model portfolio performance.
  3. Purchase Stocks:
    On January 1 (or the first trading day of the new year), invest in the selected companies based on the results of steps 1 and 2.
  4. Hold the Portfolio:
    Maintain your portfolio for the entire year. Collect dividends, and refrain from buying or selling during this period—no matter how tempting market fluctuations may be.
  5. Sell on December 31:
    On the last trading day of the year, liquidate your portfolio and prepare for the next cycle.
  6. Repeat Annually:
    Reapply this process each year to build a consistent, data-driven investment strategy.

Why This Strategy could Work

This approach is rooted in the belief that Blue Chip stocks—known for their financial stability, profitability, and resilience—tend to outperform during turbulent markets. High-yield Blue Chips, in particular, may offer two key advantages:

  • Attractive Valuation: High yields often indicate that the stock is undervalued, presenting potential for both income and capital appreciation.
  • Steady Income: Reliable dividends provide a consistent income stream, enhancing portfolio returns.

By systematically selecting top-yielding Blue Chips and holding them for a year, you create an efficient and disciplined investment process that aligns with the principles of dividend investing.
