As global markets navigate a complex landscape marked by geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures, Asia’s economic performance remains under scrutiny, with China facing growth concerns and Japan enjoying a robust equity market rally. In this environment, dividend stocks yielding over 3.5% can offer investors potential income stability amid the broader market volatility.
Let’s uncover some gems from our specialized screener.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. is involved in the research and development, production, and sales of display chips and internet operation services both in China and internationally, with a market cap of approximately CN¥34.35 billion.
Operations: Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. generates revenue primarily from its multimedia segment, which accounts for CN¥58.02 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.5%
Hisense Visual Technology’s dividend prospects show a mixed picture. While the dividend yield of 3.51% places it in the top 25% of CN market payers, its history reveals volatility and unreliability over the past decade. Nonetheless, dividends are well-covered by earnings (49% payout ratio) and cash flows (33.8% cash payout ratio), suggesting sustainability despite fluctuations. Recent earnings growth supports this coverage, but ongoing patent litigation could pose risks to future financial stability and dividend reliability.

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha Ltd. is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of organic and inorganic chemicals across Japan, Asia, the United States, Europe, and other international markets with a market capitalization of ¥112.94 billion.
Operations: Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha Ltd. generates revenue through its production and distribution of both organic and inorganic chemicals across various global markets, including Japan, Asia, the United States, and Europe.
Dividend Yield: 4.1%
Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha offers a compelling dividend profile with a yield of 4.07%, placing it in the top 25% of Japanese market payers. Despite only seven years of dividend history, payments have been stable and growing, supported by a low payout ratio of 27.1%. However, the high cash payout ratio at 83.7% raises sustainability concerns amid anticipated earnings declines over the next three years. The stock trades significantly below its estimated fair value, enhancing its appeal for value-focused investors.
TSE:4028 Dividend History as at May 2026
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation, along with its subsidiaries, operates in the marine transportation and investment sectors globally and has a market capitalization of NT$59.15 billion.
Operations: U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation, through its subsidiaries, generates revenue primarily from its global operations in marine transportation and investment activities.
Dividend Yield: 4%
U-Ming Marine Transport’s dividend yield of 4% is below Taiwan’s top 25% payers, yet dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 65% and 50.1%, respectively. Despite a decade-long history, dividend payments have been volatile, recently decreasing to TWD 2.8 per share. The company’s P/E ratio of 13.4x suggests undervaluation relative to the market average of 22.7x, but its unstable dividend track record may concern income-focused investors.
