Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ISIN 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 immediate investor reference is the bank's interim cash distribution and the upcoming ex-dividend timetable.

Dividend schedule sets the near term

According to The Globe and Mail on October 2, 2026, ICBC updated the timetable for its interim dividend of RMB 1.511 per 10 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The H-share ex-dividend date is October 9, 2026, while the record date is October 20, 2026, and payment is scheduled for November 25, 2026.

The A-share payment date is October 21, 2026, according to Moomoo on September 29, 2026. The distribution gives the stock a defined corporate-action date after the September 30 Shanghai session.

Revenue grows while margin narrows

ICBC's Q2 2026 revenue reached CNY 166.5 billion, up 5.8 percent from CNY 157.4 billion in Q2 2025, while net income fell 1.9 percent to CNY 82.3 billion, according to Simply Wall St on October 2, 2026. The contrast matters: operating scale expanded, but profit conversion weakened.

The same Q2 comparison puts ICBC's net margin at 50 percent, down from 53 percent a year earlier. For investors, the combination of higher revenue and lower net income makes asset quality, funding costs and fee income more important than topline growth alone.

Analyst view stays measured

Markets Insider reported on September 25, 2026, that Goldman Sachs maintained a Hold rating and set a HKD 7.71 price target. The report also cited a Hold consensus with an average target of HKD 7.76, keeping the external valuation message more cautious than the recent Shanghai price performance.

Investing.com lists October 31, 2026, as ICBC's next earnings date and records an average 12-month target of CNY 8.72. That date will provide the next scheduled test of whether Q2 revenue growth can translate into steadier profitability.

Stock holds a higher yearly level

ICBC's CNY 8.28 last price on September 30, 2026, stood CNY 0.12 above the prior close of CNY 8.16. The 52-week range was CNY 6.85 to CNY 8.40, placing the stock CNY 0.12 below its yearly high while market capitalization stood at CNY 3.0 trillion.
