On October 21, ICBC and the Agricultural Bank distributed 2026 mid-term cash dividends to A-share shareholders, totaling about 82.1 billion yuan. According to Wind data, up to now, 21 A-share listed banks have disclosed their 2026 mid-term dividend plans. The total amount of dividends to be paid is over 260 billion yuan. Among them, major banks and stock banks in China form the absolute main forces, and urban commercial banks and agricultural commercial banks are also speeding up the follow-up. From the disclosure of the plan to actual distribution, the mid-term dividends of listed banks are evolving from a “test of the waters” operation of a few banks to a normalized choice. Behind this change, the banking sector is reshaping the shareholder return system, which is supported not only by stabilizing industry fundamentals, but also reflects the low interest rate environment.
