Bank of China (ISIN CNE1000001Z5) was quoted at EUR 0.70 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:35 a.m. CEST. The bank proposed an interim dividend of RMB 1.190 per 10 shares for the first half of 2026, according to Futunn on September 28, 2026.

Profit growth supports the payout

The proposal followed first-half operating income of RMB 357.113 billion, up 8.41 percent from the same period of 2025. Profit attributable to equity holders reached RMB 123.594 billion, an increase of 5.10 percent year over year, while basic earnings per share were RMB 0.36, the interim report said.

Net interest income rose 10.20 percent to RMB 236.733 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2026. The net interest margin was 1.27 percent, up 0.01 percentage points year over year, while the cost-to-income ratio fell 1.68 percentage points to 23.43 percent.

What does the dividend mean for income?

The proposed distribution gives the interim report a direct shareholder-return angle, but approval remains necessary before payment. Bank of China also reported a 1.22 percent non-performing loan ratio for the first half of 2026 and a capital adequacy ratio of 18.31 percent, figures that frame the payout alongside credit quality and balance-sheet capacity.

Results date sets the next checkpoint

The next reporting date is October 28, 2026, according to InvestPane. That release should provide the next quantified update on earnings, margins and asset quality after the first-half figures.
