CNOOC Ltd. (ISIN HK0883013259) is due to pay an interim dividend of HKD 0.94 per share on October 16, 2026, according to Moomoo. The payment follows first-half 2026 results that showed higher production and profit.

Share purchases add a second signal

The controlling shareholder increased its holdings during the period from March 5 through October 8, 2026. As Zhitong Finance reported on October 8, CNOOC Group had cumulatively bought 31.812 million H shares for RMB 522 million, alongside 3.8921 million A shares for RMB 130 million.

Three dated developments shape the story

On August 26, 2026, CNOOC presented first-half results that included 398.7 million barrels of oil equivalent in net production, up 3.70 percent from the prior-year period, according to Boerse Global. On October 8, the share purchase plan had reached RMB 652 million across both share classes. On October 16, the HKD 0.94 dividend is scheduled for payment, as Moomoo reported.

What does the dividend mean?

The payout is backed by first-half net profit of RMB 85.8 billion, a 23.40 percent year-over-year increase. Oil and gas sales revenue reached RMB 206.1 billion, up 20.00 percent from the prior-year period, while production rose 3.70 percent. That combination gives the dividend a quantified operating base, although CNOOC remains exposed to changes in crude prices and capital-market conditions.

The next reporting date

CNOOC is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 31, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That date will provide the next reported test of production, earnings and shareholder distributions.
