According to data, as of 18:00 on March 18, a total of 388 listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen have announced their 2012 annual reports. During the reporting period, the total net profit attributable to owners of listed companies reached 155.291 billion yuan. The overall average growth rate of net profit was 6.32%. Among them, the performance of 235 companies increased to varying degrees, accounting for 60.57% of the companies that have published annual reports, and 153 companies had a negative growth, accounting for 39.43%, and 22 of them were from the machinery and equipment industry (Shenwan I).

　　In this regard, Huachuang Securities said that the industry's sales volume declined significantly in 2012. Affected by the macroeconomic situation, the increase in construction projects across the country is limited, leading to the continued decline of construction machinery since May 2011 in 2012, and the sales of key products have declined significantly. However, the overall environment will improve in 2013, and the industry is expected to re-enter the growth track. Among them, the excavator sector is expected to take the lead in rebounding. It is recommended to pay attention to industry leaders Sany, Zoomlion and Liugong, a listed company related to excavators.

　　In addition, the high dividend payout of listed companies has always been a major highlight of the annual report. As the management has further clarified the dividend policy of listed companies, the market and investors have paid great attention to the dividends of listed companies.

　　According to statistics, among the 280 companies that have issued dividend plans, 142 are on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Main Board, 42 are on the Growth Enterprise Market, and 96 are small and medium-sized companies that have issued dividend plans.
