On the evening of March 15, Shantui Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. announced that it will request shareholders’ approval for the board of directors to formulate a 2026 interim dividend plan.

Review of the listed company’s announcement shows that recently, several companies have issued notices requesting shareholders’ approval for the board to develop their 2026 interim dividend plans. Most of these notices mention that planning the 2026 interim dividend is to reward investors.

Bao Jingang, fund manager and senior researcher at Shenzhen Rongzhi Private Equity Securities Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd., told Securities Daily that in recent years, listed companies returning profits to investors through dividends have shown positive changes. Both scale and quality are improving simultaneously, and the structure continues to optimize. Moreover, cash returns are increasingly recognized, and their positive impact on the A-share market ecosystem is becoming more evident.

“Valuing dividend returns to investors helps attract long-term funds, reduces market speculation, and focusing on investor returns can also push listed companies to improve operational quality, creating a virtuous cycle of development,” said Yuan Huaming, general manager of Guangdong Huahui Chuangfu Investment Management Co., Ltd., in an interview with Securities Daily.

From a corporate governance perspective, increasing dividend frequency and proportion to convey confidence in performance and shorten the return cycle has become a consensus among high-performing, stable companies.

Additionally, many companies incorporate dividends into their annual planning, forming institutional arrangements. Yuan Huaming explained that, based on observed situations, listed companies could improve transparency in their dividend policies to help small and medium investors have stable expectations of returns.

“To better leverage cash dividends for investor returns, several details can be improved. First, improve systems and information disclosure, specify dividend policy disclosure requirements, and require fully explaining non-dividend companies to foster stable and transparent dividend expectations; second, optimize the market evaluation system by increasing the weight of dividends in various evaluation guidelines, penalize companies that do not pay dividends long-term, and guide normalized returns; third, coordinate dividends with share repurchases, regulate the use and disclosure of repurchase activities, so that capital return behaviors truly benefit shareholders and enhance company value,” Bao Jingang said.
