The bank's mid-term dividends are moving from disclosure of the plan to the intensive implementation stage. The Bank of Shanghai recently issued an implementation notice for the 2026 semi-annual equity distribution, which distributed a total of over 4 billion yuan in cash dividends. Meanwhile, banks such as Sunong Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank, and Agricultural Bank all paid interim dividends in October. Six major state-owned banks have also increased their mid-2026 dividend ratio from 30% to 31%. Industry insiders said that improvements in bank fundamentals have provided room for bank dividends. In a low interest rate environment, the allocation value of high-dividend bank stocks is prominent, and banks are also more motivated to stabilize investors' expectations and enhance their appeal to long-term capital through medium-term dividends.
