Group 2: Influencing Factors - Three key factors have influenced the dividend strategy's performance in 2025: 1. Style rotation suppression, as the A-share market has been dominated by a growth style since 2024, leading to a decline in interest for value-oriented dividend strategies [6]. 2. Increased uncertainty in geopolitical and policy environments, which can enhance the appeal of dividend strategies as a defensive measure during market volatility [6]. 3. Changes in government bond yields, where rising yields have reduced the attractiveness of dividends relative to bonds, impacting the dividend strategy's appeal [6]. Group 3: Future Outlook for 2026 - The future performance of dividend strategies in 2026 will depend on several factors: 1. The duration of the growth style's dominance in the market, with a potential need for a shift in market conditions for dividend strategies to recover [8]. 2. The ongoing performance of the "low volatility" factor, which may underperform in the early stages of a bull market but could regain traction as market conditions evolve [9]. 3. Internal differentiation within dividend strategies based on macroeconomic conditions, where sectors like manufacturing may benefit in a recovering economy, while stable high-dividend sectors may perform better in a low-rate environment [10].
