【解析】高额银行存款之下的IPO融资需求为哪般

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the reasons behind companies with high bank deposits still seeking IPO financing, exploring potential motivations and implications for investors and regulators [1]. Group 1: Mismatched Funding Cycles - High bank deposit balances alongside significant financing do not necessarily indicate financial fraud, as financial statements reflect a specific point in time and have static limitations [2]. - Companies often experience long payment cycles due to industry practices, which can lead to cash flow pressures despite high bank deposits [2][3]. Group 2: Regulatory Scrutiny of Large Dividends - Some companies with substantial bank deposits engage in "clearing-style dividends" before IPOs, creating significant funding gaps in their financial statements [4]. - New regulations set to be implemented in 2024 will scrutinize dividend practices, particularly those where dividends exceed 80% of net profits or where a significant portion of raised funds is used for working capital or loan repayment [4]. Group 3: In-Depth Verification of Bank Deposits - High bank deposit balances may not reflect available funds for operations, as they could be tied up in guarantees or regulatory requirements, or used to mask financial irregularities [5]. - Auditing methods for bank deposits need to be thorough and consider underlying risks, rather than relying solely on standard verification procedures [5]. Group 4: Financing Needs and Market Dynamics - Each company with high deposits has unique financing needs, and establishing a reasonable financing scale is crucial for aligning the interests of capital markets and IPO companies [5].

Financial Performance - In the first half of 2025, Zhuochuang Information achieved operating revenue of 171.15 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.75%, while the net profit attributable to shareholders was 35.14 million yuan, a decrease of 10.72% [11]. - The company’s net profit for 2023 and 2024 was reported at 52.06 million yuan and 70.51 million yuan, respectively, with cash dividends of 123 million yuan and 111.38 million yuan, resulting in cash dividend ratios of 236.24% and 157.97% [2][4].

IPO Plans and Delays - Zhuochuang Information announced plans for a Hong Kong IPO less than three years after its A-share listing, despite ongoing delays in its initial public offering projects, which were originally scheduled to be operational by June 30, 2023, but have since been postponed to 2027 [6][10]. - The company cited global economic uncertainties and rapid technological changes as reasons for the delays in its projects, questioning the necessity of seeking further capital through the Hong Kong IPO under similar conditions [10][11].

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of new policies in 2024 has led to a significant increase in cash dividends among listed companies in China's stock markets, indicating a positive trend in shareholder returns and market stability [1] Summary by Sections Dividend Trends - In 2024, a total of 3,755 listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges implemented cash dividends, with a total cash dividend amount of approximately 2.4 trillion yuan, marking an increase of 11.7% in the number of dividend-paying companies and a 14.7% increase in total dividend amount compared to 2023 [1] High Dividend Payouts - Some companies are engaging in "clearance-style dividends," where they distribute nearly all of their annual net profits as dividends. This practice raises concerns about the sustainability of the companies' future development and the efficiency of capital market resource allocation [1] Case Study: Chengda Bio - Chengda Bio reported a revenue of 1.676 billion yuan in 2024, a decrease of 4.22% year-on-year, and a net profit of 343 million yuan, down 26.42% year-on-year. The company has seen a continuous decline in revenue and net profit for three consecutive years since its listing [2] - Despite declining performance, Chengda Bio distributed a total cash dividend of 329 million yuan in 2024, with a dividend payout ratio of 96.06%. The largest shareholder, Liaoning Chengda Co., Ltd., holds 54.67% of the company's shares, indicating that a significant portion of the dividends benefits the major shareholder [2] Risks of High Dividend Strategies - The "clearance-style dividend" strategy, while appearing to provide substantial returns to shareholders, poses multiple risks. Distributing nearly all or exceeding the current net profit undermines the company's future development and risk reserves [3] - The practice of using excess funds from IPOs for dividends distorts the capital market's resource allocation function, as these funds should ideally support the company's growth rather than serve as a means for major shareholders to cash out [3] - High dividend payouts in companies with declining fundamentals raise questions about the fairness and rationality of such actions, potentially harming the long-term interests of minority shareholders and the company as a whole [3]
