Nearly 200 cash dividend plans are underway; in a volatile market, high-dividend assets are becoming more valuable for allocation.

Why Are High-Dividend Assets in a Volatile Market Still in Favor?

【Nearly 200 Cash Dividend Plans in Progress as High-Dividend Asset Allocation Gains Momentum in Volatile Markets】On March 24, Caixin reported that as A-share listed companies gradually disclose their 2025 annual reports, new dividend plans are also emerging for investors. According to Wind data, as of March 23, nearly 200 A-share companies have announced their 2025 cash dividend plans. Based on the latest closing prices, 41 companies have a dividend yield above 2%, with the highest exceeding 5%. Recently, external factors have caused noticeable fluctuations in the A-share market, but some high-dividend assets, represented by coal, have defied the trend and strengthened. Looking ahead, industry insiders expect a trend to develop gradually, and investors can consider buying on dips, focusing on high-dividend assets and sectors benefiting from “HALO trading” (heavy assets, low淘汰). Among these, the coal sector is expected to show upward resilience amid escalating Middle East geopolitical conflicts.
