近日，盐湖股份（000792.SZ）因实控人的增持举动引发资本市场关注。 在2025年4月，盐湖股份就公告了实控人中国五矿的增持计划。7月以来，中国五矿完成多笔增持，控制 的盐湖股份股权（包括中国盐湖工业等一致行动人持有股份）从25.3%增长到了27.38%。 在青海省政府的支持下，中国五矿入主盐湖股份已半年有余，并承载着世界级盐湖产业基地的愿景。盐 湖股份拥有国内最大含锂盐湖——察尔汗盐湖铁路西侧矿区的开采权，在找到可行的提锂工艺后，单吨 碳酸锂成本相对便宜。不论碳酸锂价格如何剧烈波动，盐湖股份的锂盐毛利始终可靠。 不过盐湖股份也曾面临经营困境，由于项目投资失败，盐湖股份自2017年至2019年连亏3年，承受了数 百亿元的巨额亏损。2017年至今，盐湖股份再未分红。随着盐湖股份控股股东换人，经营逐渐稳定，盐 湖股份何时开始分红成了投资者关心的问题。7月30日，知名财税审专家、资深注册会计师刘志耕告诉 《华夏时报》记者，"分红决策权通常由股东会或董事会掌握。即使公司当年度有盈利，但如果以前年 度累计未分配利润仍为负值（即账面仍然有未能弥补的亏损），分红仍应被严格禁止。" 央企实控人增持 青海国投曾手握盐湖股份 ...
