Once again, a major dividend! The "gaming influencer" plans to distribute 70 yuan per 10 shares.

Another example has been added to the A-share high-dividend camp. On the evening of March 26, Xiamen? Gigabyte? Network Technology Co., Ltd., a leading company in the gaming industry (hereinafter referred to as “Gigabyte”), released its 2025 annual report, delivering an impressive set of results with both revenue and net profit posting high growth. At the same time, the company unveiled an annual dividend plan of “10-for-70 yuan,” on top of the interim and third-quarter dividends already implemented during the year. As a result, the company’s total dividends for the full year exceeded 1.406 billion yuan, accounting for 78.41% of the attributable net profit in its 2025 consolidated financial statements. Supported by high-frequency and high-percentage cash dividends, it has secured its position as a dividend benchmark for “game stocks” in China’s A-share market.

According to the annual report, in 2025, Gigabyte achieved operating revenue of 6.205 billion yuan, up 67.89% year over year. Attributable net profit was 1.794 billion yuan, surging 89.82% year over year, with its earnings growth rate reaching a new high in recent years. Behind the strong earnings growth is the company’s continued push of its product portfolio: core games operate steadily, and after new titles launch, market performance has been impressive. Meanwhile, overseas business expansion has delivered notable results, injecting strong momentum into earnings growth. Net cash flow from operating activities remained ample, providing solid cash support for high dividends.

Under this annual dividend plan, Gigabyte plans to distribute a cash dividend of 70 yuan for every 10 shares (including tax), for a total cash dividend payout of 502 million yuan. Notably, this is not the first major dividend of 2025—previously, the company had already implemented an interim dividend plan of “10-for-66 yuan” and a third-quarter plan of “10-for-60 yuan.” As a result, the number of full-year dividend payouts reached three times, with total dividends exceeding 1.406 billion yuan, and the full-year dividend payout ratio exceeding 78.41%.

Since listing in 2017, Gigabyte has consistently adhered to a high-percentage dividend policy to reward shareholders. Its cumulative cash dividends have reached 7.422 billion yuan, which is 8.25 times the net proceeds from its initial public offering. This fully reflects the company’s philosophy of sharing development outcomes with shareholders. The high-frequency, high-percentage dividend model makes it a standout not only in China’s A-share gaming industry but across the broader market.

A report titled “2025 China Game Industry Report” released by the China Audio-Visual and Digital Publishing Association shows that in 2025, the actual sales revenue of China’s game market was 350.789 billion yuan, up 7.68% year over year; the number of Chinese game users reached 683 million, up 1.35% year over year. In overseas markets, against the backdrop of global economic fluctuations and intensifying competition, Chinese game companies actively respond and demonstrate solid strength and strong resilience. In 2025, China’s overseas market’s actual sales revenue from self-developed games was 20.455 billion USD, up 10.23%, with the scale having exceeded 100 billion yuan for six consecutive years.

Against this backdrop, Gigabyte—leveraging solid operating capabilities and sustained product innovation—has achieved a “double win” in both performance and dividends, becoming a high-quality target in the high-dividend segment of China’s A-share market. The company places great emphasis on R&D investment and the cultivation of R&D talent, adopts a “small steps, quick runs” strategy to improve R&D effectiveness. The company also places strong emphasis on product innovation, striving to create differentiated high-quality games that combine being fun and delivering commercial returns. It also focuses on building an R&D backbone to provide strong support for product development.

Zhang Yi, CEO of Guangzhou Aimei Shuju Information Consulting Co., Ltd., told a reporter from The Securities Daily that from an industry perspective, Gigabyte’s high dividends are not coincidental, but the result of continuously improving operating quality. In recent years, the company has been deeply engaged in developing premium games, focusing on core tracks, continuously optimizing its product structure, and at the same time strictly controlling cost and expense levels, leading to steadily improving profitability. Ample cash flow and a relatively low asset-liability ratio give the company the confidence to continue delivering high dividends, while also setting an industry example of “steady operations and rewarding shareholders.”

Zhang Yi said that high dividends reflect a comprehensive picture of a listed company’s profitability, cash flow position, and governance level. Gigabyte’s sustained high-percentage and high-frequency dividends over multiple years not only highlight the company’s strong operational strength, but also convey confidence in future development. For investors, dividend-focused stocks offer stronger risk resilience and long-term investment value. Gigabyte’s performance is conducive to fostering a positive atmosphere in China’s A-share market that emphasizes shareholder returns, and to promoting high-quality development of the capital market.
