Bank dividends welcome "super week" with 10 banks distributing dividends totaling over 90 billion yuan.

From July 6th to 10th, A-share listed banks ushered in a intensive period for distributing cash dividends for the year 2025. Data from Wind shows that a total of 10 banks implemented dividend distributions during that week, with a total cash amount exceeding 91.1 billion yuan. On July 10th alone, China Bank, Bank of Communications, China Merchants Bank, Bank of Beijing, Bank of Jiangsu, and Bank of Xi'an all distributed dividends simultaneously, totaling 88.444 billion yuan, setting a single-day peak for this round of dividend season. Throughout the entire dividend season for the year 2025, a total of 42 A-share listed banks distributed dividends totaling approximately 645.6 billion yuan, an increase of about 13 billion yuan compared to 2024, once again breaking industry records. The six major state-owned banks distributed a total of 427.4 billion yuan in dividends for the year, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total dividends distributed by A-share banks, with dividend rates remaining at 30% or above. However, while the overall "red envelope" is getting bigger, the landscape of bank dividends is undergoing significant changes. The six major banks are maintaining a steady 30% dividend rate, while many small and medium-sized banks are actively reducing their dividend percentages, as the banking industry seeks to balance capital constraints and shareholder returns.
