本报记者 熊 悦 今年以来，选择在上市银行股价相对高位的时点实施减持的大股东并非只有重庆华宇，此前，浙商银 行、长沙银行也曾公告大股东减持计划。 银行股走强之际，有上市银行大股东选择减持变现。7月13日，齐鲁银行发布公告称，该行股东重庆华 宇集团有限公司（以下简称"重庆华宇"）根据自身发展需要，拟在该公告披露之日起3个交易日后的2个 月内，通过大宗交易方式减持不超过约6043.81万股，即减持比例不超过该行总股本的1.10%。以齐鲁银 行7月14日收盘价每股6.44元及重庆华宇计划减持股份数量上限粗略计算，此次重庆华宇拟通过减持变 现约4亿元。 南开大学金融学教授田利辉告诉《证券日报》记者，目前来看，减持多缘于大股东自身经营或战略调整 需要。虽然大股东减持可能引发短期市场情绪波动，但若上市银行自身经营稳健，大股东减持对其长期 估值影响有限。 公开信息显示，重庆华宇是一家以房地产开发为主的多元化城市运营和投资集团。齐鲁银行2025年第一 季度报告显示，重庆华宇为该行前十大股东。 另外，也有大股东选择大手笔增持上市银行。据记者梳理，今年以来，苏州银行、无锡银行等均发布了 股东增持股份的相关公告。苏州银行6月30日 ...
