Recently, companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) have been distributing substantial "red envelopes of cash", triggering a wave of dividends ahead of the Spring Festival. According to the reporter's findings, this move also reflects the proactive response of the SSE-listed companies to the call for "Pre-Spring Festival Dividends", demonstrating their commitment to the stability and regularity of cash dividend distribution through concrete actions.

Data shows that during the final six trading days prior to the Spring Festival holiday, nearly 20 SSE-listed companies, including Industrial Bank, CITIC Securities and China Yangtze Power, are expected to distribute about RMB 25.8 billion in cash "Red Envelopes" in total. Looking at a broader time frame, from December 2025 through the period preceding the 2026 Spring Festival, the total amount of dividends distributed by the SSE-listed companies is expected to exceed RMB 347.6 billion, potentially approaching the RMB 350 billion mark. This represents a further increase from about RMB 300 billion recorded during the same period last year. As of February 5, cash dividends already distributed have reached RMB 321.8 billion.
