长江商报消息 ●长江商报记者 徐佳 一直以来，银行板块都具有高股息特征。A股市场的分红中，上市银行也是当之无愧的主力军。 长江商报记者注意到，在政策引导下，2024年国有大行首次集体实施中期分红，合计派现2048亿元，现 金分红比例均超过30%。 值得关注的是，当前，国家正在推进对国有大行的资本补充，巩固国有大行的稳健经营发展能力。5月9 日晚间，中国银行、交通银行、邮储银行相继宣布，三家银行的定增申请获得上交所审核通过。 此前在今年3月末，建设银行、中国银行、交通银行、邮储银行共抛出5200亿规模的定增计划，用以补 充核心一级资本，其中财政部将认购5000亿元。 首次集体实施中期分红 Wind数据显示，以年度累计分红总额（已宣告）为指标统计，2024年，42家A股上市银行分红总额达到 6315.42亿元，占A股全市场上市公司分红总额的比例约为27%。 而国有大行持续高额现金分红在全市场中起到压舱石作用。2024年，工商银行、建设银行、农业银行、 中国银行、交通银行、邮储银行等六大国有行分红总额分别为1097.73亿元、1007.54亿元、846.61亿 元、713.6亿元、281.46亿元、259.41亿元 ...

对此，苏商银行特约研究员武泽伟在接受记者采访时表示，六大国有行2024年分红总额大幅高于上一 年，这体现了银行业盈利能力的强劲及管理层对加大股东回报的重视。他进一步分析称，银行加大分红 主要有三大原因：第一，六大行净利润实现稳健增长，强劲的盈利能力成为六大行进行高分红的底气； 第二，过去监管层屡次强调上市公司要通过分红、回购等方式，增强投资者回报，银行通过大力分红响 应落实监管要求；第三，体现了银行管理层对市值管理的重视，通过高频分红、定期分红等，可以坚定 投资者长期持有公司股票的信心。 武泽伟指出，对于银行自身而言，加大分红力度，可以强化投资者对银行股"压舱石"属性的认可，吸引 社保、险资等中长期资金加大对银行板块的配置力度，从而促进银行股整体估值水平上升和股价水平上 涨。 随着近期财报的陆续披露完毕，各家上市银行去年分红情况也浮出水面。已公告的A股42家上市银行 2024年度累计分红总额为6315.42亿元，其中作为分红的"主力军"，六大国有行2024年现金分红总额达 到约4206.36亿元，大幅高于上一年。另外，今年部分银行的分红落地时间也大幅提前。 4月29日晚间，西安银行（600928）、苏农银行（ ...
