In the evening, Hikvision made an announcement stating that its Chairman, Hu Yangzhong, has put forward a proposal to implement an interim dividend plan in mid - 2025. According to the total share capital (with the number of shares in the special repurchase account excluded) as of the future dividend record date, the plan entails distributing 4 yuan (inclusive of tax) for every 10 shares to all shareholders. Notably, there will be no issuance of bonus shares, nor will there be a transfer of capital reserves to share capital. It is estimated that the total dividend amount will hit 3.666 billion yuan, representing roughly 64.80% of the net profit attributable to the parent company in the first half of the year. This kind of dividend distribution approach is quite common in the corporate financial landscape, aiming to reward shareholders and demonstrate the company's financial health and confidence in future development.
