“We note that companies in Asia appear to have much more insulation in terms of sustainability of cash outflow items such as capital expenditure and dividends relative to their Western counterparts,” Jim McCafferty, head of Asia-ex-Japan equity research at Nomura in Hong Kong, said in a note. Last week, Goldman Sachs said it expects S&P 500 dividends to fall by 25% in 2020 as certain large dividend-paying industries are particularly vulnerable to the economic shock of the coronavirus outbreak.
Companies such as China Mobile , China’s toll road firms and insurance companies offer secured dividends on decent valuations, he said.
