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].

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.
