CPIC declared its first interim dividend of RMB 0.42 per share for the first half of 2026, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 10.40 percent to RMB 30.78 billion. The figures come from the company's interim results presentation dated August 27, 2026, published by CPIC.
Profit growth supports the payout
According to Futu on September 21, 2026, total operating revenue reached RMB 212.14 billion in the first half of 2026, an increase of 5.80 percent from the same period. Operating profit attributable to shareholders rose 6.20 percent to RMB 21.15 billion.
The dividend totals RMB 4.04 billion and is expected to be paid on October 23, 2026, according to the same interim report. That distribution gives the results a direct shareholder-return angle, but the operating figures show that earnings growth remains the central financial driver.
Insurance performance splits by segment
Life insurance new business value increased 12.70 percent to RMB 10.76 billion in the first half of 2026, while life insurance net profit rose 16.10 percent to RMB 24.03 billion. Property and casualty underwriting profit climbed 35.70 percent to RMB 4.82 billion.
The P&C combined ratio improved to 95.00 percent from 96.30 percent in the first half of 2025. The improvement came alongside a 1.40 percent increase in P&C direct written premiums to RMB 114.36 billion, while group assets under management reached RMB 4.08 trillion, up 4.80 percent year over year.
H share remains below its yearly high
The Hong Kong-listed H share stood at HKD 28.14 on September 30, 2026, versus a prior close of HKD 28.18. Its 52-week range was HKD 26.50 to HKD 40.46, and market capitalization stood at HKD 270.7 billion on the same date.
The market figures place the share 30.46 percent below its 52-week high, calculated from HKD 28.14 and HKD 40.46. For investors, the combination of double-digit net profit growth, a first interim payout and improved P&C underwriting provides the clearest current framework for assessing CPIC's stock.
