China Life stock last traded at EUR 3.16 on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on September 25, 2026, while the insurer's latest capital-allocation decision sets an interim dividend of RMB 0.358 per share. The payout covers the six months ended June 30, 2026, and was approved on September 24, 2026.

Dividend sets a firm timetable

According to Hong Kong Exchanges in its announcement dated September 24, 2026, the dividend will be paid at HKD 0.41615 per H share. The ex-dividend date is October 8, 2026, the record date is October 16, 2026, and payment is scheduled for November 18, 2026.

The timetable gives investors three concrete dates for the distribution process. It also places the dividend in the context of a reported first-half profit surge, rather than treating the payment as an isolated yield event.

Profit growth outpaces premiums

China Life's first-half net profit attributable to shareholders rose 228.6 percent year over year to RMB 134.489 billion, while new business value increased 33.7 percent. According to Futunn Finance on September 16, 2026, total investment yield reached 5.58 percent, an increase of 2.29 percentage points.

That comparison matters because the profit increase was much faster than the 33.7 percent rise in new business value. The figures point to investment performance as a major contributor to the first-half earnings profile, leaving product mix and asset allocation important variables for later periods.

Hong Kong quote remains the key reference

China Life was last at HKD 28.12 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 30, 2026, at 4:08 p.m. HKT, with the session marked closed by the market quote. Market capitalization was HKD 1.3 trillion on September 30, 2026, and the 52-week range was HKD 20.90 to HKD 36.16.

For German investors, the dated Frankfurt reference was EUR 3.16 on September 25, 2026. The company operates as a life insurer in China, and the dividend schedule now provides the next defined cash-distribution milestones.
