Wind data show that since July, 45 listed companies have disclosed 2026 interim dividend plans, including those tied to half-year and first-quarter reports, with total proposed cash dividends of 37.443 billion yuan, according to Jiemian News. Zijin Mining plans to distribute 11.136 billion yuan in cash, the highest amount so far, followed by CATL, Hikvision, and Dongpeng Beverage, each proposing cash dividends of more than 1 billion yuan. The report said this round of interim dividends is being announced earlier than before, with many companies publishing dividend proposals before releasing formal half-year results, while multi-round dividend distribution within a single year is becoming more common and broader in scope.
