Chinabank (PSE: CBC) maintains its long-standing history of rewarding stockholders, even during periods of global economic volatility.  The bank’s Board of Directors has approved the declaration of P7.5 billion in total cash dividends, equivalent to 27% of its P28 billion net income in 2025.

This declaration — P1.80/share regular cash dividends and an additional P1.00/share special cash dividends — is 12% higher than last year’s P2.50/share cash dividends, reflecting the bank’s financial resilience and disciplined capital management.

Payable on May 14, 2026 to shareholders on record as of April 30, 2026, the payout translates to a cash dividend yield of 4.5% based on CBC’s closing stock price of P62.70 as of April 15, 2026.

The 2026 dividend declaration comes on the heels of a transformative year for the bank. The continuous improvement of its My CBC mobile ecosystem, including the pioneering implementation of FIDO 2 Passkey authentication, as well as the recent launch of CAI, the bank’s AI-driven customer support assistant, are part of Chinabank’s broader roadmap to deliver customer-centric innovations while simultaneously investing in the future of Philippine banking.

On April 13, 2026, Moody’s Investor Services affirmed Chinabank’s investment grade credit rating of "Baa2" with a "Stable" outlook driven by the bank’s strong capitalization and profitability.
