Midea stock faces revised deadline before interim dividend

Midea revised the timetable for its 2026 interim dividend in an updated announcement published on October 29, according to the Futubull page carrying the updated HKEX announcement. The change affects holders of Mideas H shares and moves the relevant record date to Tuesday, November 17, 2026.

Eligible H-share investors must lodge their transfer documents and relevant share certificates with Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11. The H-share register will now be closed from November 12 through November 17, replacing the earlier closure period from November 10 through November 13.

Payment terms remain unchanged

The timetable change does not alter the dividend proposal. Midea is paying an interim dividend of RMB 5.00 per 10 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The H-share equivalent is HKD 5.8249 per 10 shares at the exchange rate stated in the announcement.

Shareholders approved the dividend on October 13. Payment to eligible H-share investors remains scheduled for Friday, November 27. The announcement also sets out different withholding-tax treatment: the rate is 10% for non-resident enterprises and certain non-resident entities, while H-share investors using the Shanghai-Hong Kong or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect schemes face a 20% rate.

Operational deadline matters first

For investors seeking eligibility, the immediate issue is the document deadline rather than a new dividend decision. The revised timetable gives the record date a later position, but the required transfer documents must still reach the registrar before the register closes. Actual proceeds will also depend on the applicable tax treatment and the currency used for settlement.

Midea stock traded at 11.51 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 09:32 CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
