Why do high dividends and medium valuations go hand in hand?

Mondo Finance Updated on 2024-02-01

On January 24, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) said that it would further study the inclusion of market value management in the performance appraisal of the person in charge of the enterprise, guide the person in charge of the enterprise to pay more attention to the market performance of the listed companies controlled by the company, and timely convey confidence and stabilize expectations through the application of market-oriented means such as increasing holdings and repurchases, increasing cash dividends, and better rewarding investors. Based on this background, the market once again set off a wave of "medium and special valuation", and along with it, the high dividend strategy is also boiling again.

In fact, in the Q2 period of last year, the "special valuation"** continued to be interpreted, and the "special valuation" was concerned together, and there was also a high dividend dividend strategy. Why do high dividends and medium valuations go hand in hand? What is the relationship between them?

To put it simply, there is a high degree of compatibility between the traditional high-dividend strategy in the A** market and the "medium and special valuation". As a result, companies selected based on this strategy generally exhibit high dividends, low valuations, and low stock price volatility. Most of these companies are rooted in traditional and well-established sectors such as banking, real estate, transportation, and utilities, where the leading companies are often dominated by large central state-owned enterprises.

A high-dividend strategy can stand out because it focuses more on the current value of the company than on the growth of the business, and mainly makes money on value return and dividend yield. But growth is really not important, right?

We know that there are two ways to obtain investment income in the secondary market, one is the growth of corporate performance, and the other is from dividend payments. Ideally, when the company has investment projects with high returns, it should use the operating income for reinvestment to achieve the improvement of operating performance; When the company lacks investment projects with high returns, it should use the operating income for dividend distribution. "Growth" and "high dividends" are both ways to generate returns for shareholders.

SDIC believes that with the increasing scale of China's economy, many industries have gradually entered a stable and mature stage from the past high-speed growth stage. From the perspective of investment returns, the market has gradually shifted from focusing on "growth" in the past to paying equal attention to "growth" and "high dividends", but "medium dividend + certainty growth" is a neglected value depression. In the context of the decline in market expectations and the intensification of volatility in the secondary market, "3-5% dividend yield" and "10%+ expected growth" are also a high-quality variety to obtain stable income.

msciThe China A50 Connect Index has the dual characteristics of "medium dividend + deterministic growth".

The index has the attribute of "medium and special valuation".

At present, the total weight of the constituent companies of the index is as high as that of central state-owned enterprises (including ** state-owned enterprises and local state-owned enterprises).!In addition, the dividend yield of the index in the past 1 year is about, the bonus attribute is outstanding!
