The NPAT attributed to HPH shareholder is HK$800.8 million while the dividend payout is HK$1,629.0 million. Good?
Very interesting! Why HPH did that? Where HK$828.8 comes from? Is there accumulated surplus, retained cash reserve during the good years? If not why ?

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

From cashflow?
Never analyse their statement as I don't trust biz trust. I rather invest in companies that have good dividend payout.

Yes! i also don't like a little "too complicated capital structured" businesses.
Actually hoh, even we scrutinized an AR, i don't think we can do better then the professional analysts. Almost all the time, they missed the RED FLAGS too. Besides they also have to accept the AR as it is. If auditors can't find anything wrong or worse cahoot with top management, by the time public knows it, it usually too late liu.
Another words, we must try our best to qualify the company besides "quantifying."
To me qualifying should comes first.
