Dividends are rare in the third quarter
In fact, it is rare for listed companies to announce dividends in the third quarter. Previously, only 8 listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, including Wen's Co., Ltd., Maillander, Supor , Jiangzhong Pharmaceutical , Longbai Group, Shengxiang Biologics , Runze Technology , and 8 listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets disclosed their profit distribution plans in the third quarter report. In the market's view, the announcement of dividends at this point is mainly to inject confidence into investors and maintain stock price stability.
Among the above companies, gibit deserves to rank first in terms of dividend payment rate (total dividend/net profit). Even in the past one or two years, this proportion has few opponents.
During the interim report period this year, Zangge Mining paid a cash dividend of 18.98 yuan per 10 shares to all shareholders. Based on the company's total share capital of 1.58 billion shares, the total cash dividend is expected to pay nearly 3 billion yuan, and its dividend payment rate reaches an astonishing 125.16%. In the dividend plan of A-share companies in 2021, Yiqiao Shenzhou, which has the highest dividend payment rate, is 94.4%.

According to WIND statistics, between 2017 and 2021, its dividend payment ratios were 30.65%, 99.43%, 44.41%, 82.41% and 78.3% respectively. In the past 2021, Jibit just distributed 1.15 billion yuan in dividends.
However, compared with the bold dividends, Jibit's stock price performed poorly this year. Its stock price fell from 406.3 yuan/share at the beginning of the year to 241.33 yuan/share (as of the close of October 26), and its stock price shrank by more than 40%.

Therefore, the profit of "Sheep Le Ge Sheep" has a certain positive impact on the company's investment sector returns, but the overall impact will not be too great.
