Dividend Yield Up to 7.79%! Defensive High-Performance Stocks Unveiled, 6 Stocks with Earnings Surging Over 50%

The emerging “anti-drop” strength is coming to the surface.

List of high-performing stocks with anti-drop characteristics announced

Recently, amid escalating conflicts in the Middle East, the A-share market has experienced increased volatility due to a combination of domestic and international factors. On March 23, the Shanghai Composite Index briefly fell below the 3,800-point level during trading, and market sentiment became cautious, with funds rapidly withdrawing from high-volatility sectors. However, not all stocks followed the trend.

In this adjustment, a group of “anti-drop” forces has surfaced. These resilient high-performing stocks are supported by solid earnings and are currently trading at relatively low valuations.

According to Data Treasure of Securities Times, the following criteria were used to select these resilient high-quality stocks: 1. As of the close on March 23, the latest closing price has retreated less than 10% from the year’s high; 2. The rolling P/E ratio is below 30; 3. Based on 2025 annual report, earnings forecast, and profit notice (or the announced figures if no lower limit is provided), net profit for 2025 is positive and shows year-over-year growth (including turning losses into profits).

Statistics show that a total of 35 stocks meet these criteria. These stocks are mainly distributed across industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, banking, utilities, transportation, electrical equipment, and food and beverages, with 7 stocks each in pharmaceuticals/biotech and banking.

In terms of earnings growth, six stocks are projected to have net profit growth exceeding 50% in 2025, including San Sheng Guo Jian, Qianyuan Electric Power, Putailai, Suihengyun A, Yanjing Beer, and Zhongke Electric.

San Sheng Guo Jian’s earnings forecast shows a net profit of 2.939 billion yuan in 2025, a year-over-year increase of 317.09%, ranking first in growth rate. During the period, the company reached a significant cooperation with Pfizer, receiving an initial licensing payment of approximately 2.89 billion yuan for Project 707, which was recognized as revenue.

Qianyuan Electric Power expects net profit for 2025 to be between 567 million and 632 million yuan, representing a 160% to 190% increase year-over-year. During the period, water inflow was 45% higher than the same period last year, with electricity generation reaching 12.12 billion kWh, up 71.9%, boosting revenue and profit from power generation.

Putailai achieved a net profit of 2.359 billion yuan in 2025, up 98.14% year-over-year. The report indicates that the global automotive market continues to trend toward electrification and intelligence, energy storage demand is growing strongly, the consumer electronics market is recovering, and the phased inventory cycle for new energy batteries and materials has ended, leading to an overall improvement in industry conditions. The company’s wet-process membrane and coating business have grown significantly; silicon-carbon anode production has begun, stabilizing operations; and sales of functional materials like PVDF, PAA, and ceramic coating materials have rapidly increased, contributing to performance growth.

Jiangsu Guotai’s dividend yield is 5.4%. The company’s net profit for 2025 is 1.294 billion yuan, up 17.05%.
