As the 2026 semi-annual reporting season for listed banks comes to an end, “mid-term dividend” has become the key word receiving the most attention in the market. By the end of August, various types of banks had successively disclosed their mid-term dividend plans, with a total proposed cash dividend of over 250 billion yuan. The number of A-share banks participating in the mid-term dividend had increased from 24 last year to 31. Judging from structural characteristics, major state-owned banks have the largest total dividends; the average dividend ratio of joint stock banks is relatively high, and the dividend strength is outstanding; the overall dividend ratio of urban commercial banks is slightly lower, showing a certain gradient difference.
