- Midea's interim dividend applies to the six months ended June 30, 2026, and was approved by shareholders on October 13.
- The HKEX notice sets November 27 as the payment date for eligible H shareholders.
- The announcement outlines different withholding-tax treatment for non-resident holders and Stock Connect investors.
Midea stock faced a key entitlement deadline on Monday, November 9, as the company’s updated interim-dividend timetable set 16:30 Hong Kong time as the latest point for lodging transfer documents with the share registrar. The real-time quote of Midea stock was 11.46 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 09:16 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The timetable comes from Midea Group’s updated cash dividend announcement filed with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing on October 13. The notice covers the interim dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and says shareholders approved the distribution on the same date.
Payment schedule and shareholder eligibility
Midea declared RMB 5 per 10 shares. For holders of the company’s H shares, the dividend is to be paid in Hong Kong dollars at HKD 5.8249 per 10 shares, based on the exchange rate specified in the announcement.
The notice lists November 6 as the ex-dividend date and November 13 as the record date for H shareholders. The Hong Kong share register is scheduled to close from November 10 through November 13, while the payment date is November 27. The November 9 transfer-document deadline therefore marked the latest point for investors seeking inclusion in the register under the published timetable.
Tax treatment remains relevant for returns
The announcement also sets out different withholding-tax treatment by investor type. Non-resident enterprises and individual H shareholders are generally subject to a 10 percent withholding rate under the terms described by the company. Investors holding H shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect face a 20 percent rate under the notice.
Those rates affect the cash received rather than the declared gross dividend. Investors therefore need to distinguish the RMB 5 per 10 shares declaration from the amount ultimately retained after applicable withholding. The final entitlement also depends on whether the holder met the relevant registration requirements before the book-close period.
For the company, the schedule gives investors a clearly defined sequence from the ex-dividend date through registration and payment. For the stock, the immediate focus is the transition from the dividend timetable to the next set of operating and earnings signals, particularly after recent market attention on the quality of third-quarter profit.
Investors should also account for the currency of the security they hold. The dividend is declared in renminbi, while the H-share distribution is stated in Hong Kong dollars in the HKEX notice; the euro quote above is a separate trading-market indication and does not convert the dividend into euros.
China’s broader equity backdrop can be followed through current market reports.
