Midea stock faces revised deadline for interim dividend eligibility

Midea has revised the timetable for its 2026 interim dividend, moving the H-share record date to November 17 and setting a new document deadline for eligible investors. The updated announcement was published on October 29 and reported by Moomoo.

Midea stock traded at 11.36 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 09:14 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

New deadline before the record date

The company changed the H-share register closure from November 10 through November 13 to November 12 through November 17. The record date consequently moved from November 13 to November 17, giving investors a later eligibility date under the revised timetable.

H-shareholders who want to qualify for the distribution must submit the required transfer documents and share certificates to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11. The timetable therefore puts the document deadline ahead of the revised register closure.

Payment terms remain unchanged

The interim dividend covers the six months ended June 30, 2026. Midea is distributing RMB 5 per 10 shares, equivalent to HKD 5.8249 per 10 H shares under the exchange rate stated in the updated announcement. The payment date remains Friday, November 27.

The dividend was approved by shareholders on October 13. The November 10 ex-dividend date means that the timetable has become an immediate consideration for investors assessing eligibility, settlement timing and the effect of withholding taxes on the eventual cash distribution.

Tax treatment matters for investors

The updated notice outlines different withholding-tax treatment for shareholder groups. It states that non-resident enterprises and non-individual residents without a mainland China registered address face a 10 percent rate, while H-shareholders investing through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect face a 20 percent rate.

The change is procedural rather than a new dividend proposal: the distribution amount and payment date remain in place, while the register timetable and record date have been revised. Investors should therefore focus on the deadline for submitting documents and their applicable tax category when estimating the net payment.

The Euro Stoxx 50 market environment provides a broader reference point for European trading conditions, but it does not determine Midea's H-share dividend eligibility.

For investors following the timetable, the next key date is Wednesday, November 11, when the transfer-document deadline expires. Further company developments are available in More news and analyses on Midea stock.
