Regulatory Environment and Strategic Implications - The implementation of the new "National Nine Articles" and the "Market Value Management Guidelines" has reshaped the dividend logic of insurance companies, linking dividend distributions to controlling shareholder reductions and refinancing access [2][7]. - The regulatory environment encourages companies to increase the frequency of dividends, which aligns with the policy direction and helps maintain a balance between dividend payouts and business development [2][6]. Divergence in Dividend Strategies - There is a notable divergence in dividend strategies among the five major insurance companies, with Ping An achieving a 13-year consecutive growth in dividends, while New China Life's dividends surged nearly 200% [5][6]. - The differences in dividend strategies may stem from varying short-term performance and long-term strategic positioning, with mature companies focusing on higher dividends and growth-stage companies prioritizing business expansion [6][8]. Challenges and Future Considerations - Despite the high growth in mid-term dividends, concerns about sustainability arise due to market competition and declining interest rates, which may necessitate a balance between dividends and capital adequacy [7][10]. - To transition mid-term dividends from an "encouragement policy" to a "common practice," further institutional support is needed, including tax incentives for long-term shareholders and improved profit adjustment mechanisms [9][10].
