Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (CNE1000003G1) was last at CNY 8.28 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on September 30, 2026, up 1.47 percent from the prior close. The bank's interim dividend of RMB 1.511 per 10 shares is the central shareholder event ahead of the October 9 ex-dividend date.

Dividend sets the near term

According to Futubull on September 29, 2026, ICBC declared the interim cash dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The ex-dividend date is October 9, 2026, the record date is October 20, 2026, and payment is scheduled for November 25, 2026.

The distribution equals RMB 1.511 per 10 shares and follows shareholder approval of the interim profit allocation. For investors, the key near-term issue is the ex-dividend adjustment rather than a new earnings estimate, because the Shanghai quotation and the dividend event concern different dates.

Revenue expands faster than profit

Futubull reported that ICBC's first-half 2026 operating income reached RMB 465.859 billion, up 9.08 percent year over year. Net profit attributable to shareholders rose 3.32 percent to RMB 173.682 billion, showing that earnings growth trailed operating-income growth.

The same report put the net interest margin at 1.29 percent, down 1 basis point year over year, while the non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.29 percent, down 2 basis points from year-end 2025. Real-estate loan quality remained a counter-factor, with the real-estate non-performing loan ratio at 6.27 percent at the end of the first half.

Consensus sits below the quote

MarketScreener listed a BUY consensus from 15 analysts, with an average target of CNY 7.131. That target is 13.9 percent below the CNY 8.28 Shanghai price, so the published consensus does not provide an upside comparison at the latest quoted level.

The valuation picture therefore rests on the bank's ability to convert revenue growth into stronger profit expansion while managing property and retail credit exposure. The interim dividend improves the cash-return profile, but the margin and asset-quality figures keep the earnings discussion balanced.

Stock remains near yearly high

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China stock was last at CNY 8.28 on September 30, 2026, with a 52-week range of CNY 6.85 to CNY 8.40. The quotation stood 1.43 percent below the 52-week high, while market capitalization was CNY 2.95 trillion and volume reached 293,171,125 shares.
