Regarding market developments, the disclosure of 2025 annual reports and profit distribution plans has concluded, with listed banks remaining the dominant force in A-share dividends. In 2025, 42 A-share listed banks set a new record for dividend payouts, distributing a total of 645.637 billion yuan (including interim dividends), an increase of nearly 13.5 billion yuan compared to 2024. Among them, the six major state-owned banks distributed a substantial 427.424 billion yuan, accounting for 66.2% of the total dividends from listed banks. Twenty-two banks achieved a dividend payout ratio of 30%, while 19 institutions saw their payout ratios increase year-over-year. The high dividend "moat" of bank stocks remains robust, but its focus is shifting from competing on ratio to competing on sustainability. Experts believe that future dividend strategies for small and medium-sized banks will prioritize sustainability over merely pursuing high ratios. For smaller banks with relatively limited capital replenishment channels, "preserving capital" may take precedence over "high dividends," and some banks might adjust their payout ratios downward or suspend dividends based on their specific circumstances.
