Today, it opened high at HKD 41.6 and once rose over 5% to a high of HKD 42.84. As of 10:40 AM today, it increased by 3.748% to HKD 42.06. Management revealed at the analyst meeting yesterday that the board has in principle approved the framework for a three-year shareholder return plan from 2026 to 2028, which will flexibly and orderly enhance capital management measures such as dividend rates, share buybacks, and special dividends based on market conditions to increase shareholder returns. The detailed plan is expected to be implemented during the mid-year results announcement this year. BOC Hong Kong recorded an annual profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 40.121 billion last year, an increase of 4.9% year-on-year. It proposed a final dividend of HKD 1.255 per share for the year 2025, bringing the total annual dividend to HKD 2.125 per share, including the first three interim dividends, representing a year-on-year growth of 6.8%. The dividend payout ratio is 56%, an increase of 1 percentage point. Vice President and Chief Risk Officer Xu Haifeng stated at the analyst meeting that the details of the relevant plan still need to undergo regulatory approval and fulfill the company's internal governance procedures. It is expected that the details will be announced during this year's mid-year results, with the dividend payout ratio continuing to maintain within the range of 40% to 60%. Xu Haifeng also mentioned the interest rate outlook, believing it still depends on the impact of oil prices on inflation and the global economy. However, he noted that since the beginning of the year, Hong Kong's liquidity has been relatively ample, and the current Hong Kong-US interest rate spread remains at a wider level of 120 to 130 basis points, which is expected to exert some pressure on the bank's net interest margin. The bank will proactively and dynamically arrange its assets and liabilities and take multiple measures to mitigate the related impacts ### Related Stocks - [516210.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/516210.CN.md) - [159887.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159887.CN.md) - [512700.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512700.CN.md) - [512820.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512820.CN.md) - [512730.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512730.CN.md) - [512800.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512800.CN.md) - [02388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02388.HK.md) - [517900.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/517900.CN.md) - [515020.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515020.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [AIB joins Qivalis consortium to develop regulated euro stablecoin](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287054515.md) - [BOC Hong Kong Ltd.
