Dividend increased to CN¥0.33 Dividend of CN¥0.33 is 43% higher than last year. Ex-date: 4th June 2026 Payment date: 4th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.4%, which is lower than the industry average of 2.6%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (119% earnings payout ratio) nor is it covered by cash flows (156% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 34% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 32% to bring the payout ratio under control.
