According to data from iFinD of Tonghuashun, as of March 5, 13 A-share companies have announced their 2025 annual dividend plans, with payout amounts ranging from 0.6 yuan (tax included) to 8 yuan (tax included) per 10 shares.

Looking at the details of the dividends, some listed companies show strong sincerity in rewarding investors. For example, Shenzhen Sunlord Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that it plans to distribute a cash dividend of 8 yuan (tax included) per 10 shares to all shareholders. The total cash dividend for 2025 accounts for 72.37% of the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company for that year. The company’s 2025 profit distribution plan considers performance, operating net cash flow, future development plans, and shareholder returns.

Some companies have also implemented a “systematic” approach to dividends, providing detailed explanations of their main business, future plans, and dividend schemes within their action plans to improve quality and efficiency, aiming to instill more confidence in investors.

“In recent years, the scale and quality of dividends from listed companies have been improving in tandem, with total dividends continuously increasing, becoming an important indicator of enhanced company quality,” said Bao Jingang, Fund Manager and Senior Researcher at Rongzhi Private Equity Securities Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd., in an interview with Securities Daily. Under regulatory promotion, dividend policies have shifted from temporary arrangements to planned, sustainable shareholder return mechanisms. Different types of companies implement reasonable dividends based on their development stages, balancing returns and growth. Meanwhile, dividends are also showing a pattern of “top-tier concentration and sector expansion.” While traditional leading companies maintain stable high dividends, contributions from emerging fields like technological innovation and advanced manufacturing are increasing, reflecting overall improvements in profitability and cash flow. Additionally, stable dividends have become an important measure of a company’s value, demonstrating stable operational and financial strength and actively promoting the shift of the A-share market from focusing solely on financing to a healthy ecosystem emphasizing both investment and returns.

The continuous optimization of the dividend ecosystem in listed companies also releases more positive market signals.

Yuan Huaming, General Manager of Guangdong Huahui Chuangfu Investment Management Co., Ltd., told Securities Daily that in recent years, A-share listed companies have shown a trend of increasing dividend amounts and profit ratios, with more stable dividends and stronger dividend regulation. Stable dividend returns help guide investors to focus more on the fundamentals of listed companies. Moreover, emphasizing investor returns also encourages companies to improve operational quality. Healthy growth of listed companies can support the A-share market’s maturing process and foster a more rational, slow bull market.

Predictable dividends act like “stabilizers,” attracting long-term funds such as social security and insurance, creating a virtuous cycle of “corporate dividends attracting funds, funds supporting corporate development,” and enhancing market stability. Bao further explained that capital flows like “living water” naturally toward high-quality companies willing to consistently reward shareholders, thereby improving the overall allocation efficiency of the capital market. Continuous dividends have become a “business card” for sound corporate governance and financial health. Meanwhile, leading companies’ demonstration effects can motivate more listed firms to enhance their shareholder return awareness, promoting a more rational and sustainable market development.
