Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (CNE1000003G1) approved a 2026 interim dividend of CNY 1.511 per 10 shares on September 29, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The payout is scheduled for H-share investors on November 25, 2026, while the ex-dividend date was October 9, 2026.
Three milestones shape the stock
The latest milestone came on October 7, 2026, when ICBC joined USD 2.50 billion financing for the Rabigh 2 power plant expansion, as Simply Wall St reported. The project adds an international infrastructure-finance reference point to a bank whose overseas network reached 69 countries and regions by June 2026.
On September 14, 2026, ICBC acted as lead lender in a USD 29.60 billion syndicated loan for ByteDance and committed USD 3.00 billion, according to Simply Wall St. The two financing events show how fee-generating cross-border lending complements the bank's traditional balance-sheet scale.
What does the payout mean for returns?
In the first half of 2026, operating revenue increased 9.10 percent year over year to CNY 446.00 billion, while net profit rose 4.54 percent to CNY 176.00 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. Management said the interim payout ratio was raised to 31.00 percent, with the dividend totaling about CNY 53.00 billion and the H-share yield based on the first-half average price at 5.36 percent.
The same results also show the central risk for the earnings outlook. Net interest margin stood at 1.29 percent in the first half, while management said the benefit from deposit repricing would gradually weaken, placing greater weight on fee income and international operations.
Upcoming reporting date is October 31
Simply Wall St lists October 31, 2026 as the next reporting date for third-quarter 2026 results. The October 20, 2026 record date for the interim dividend is the next shareholder date, followed by the November 25, 2026 payment date.
