Agricultural Bank of China Limited dividend stands at a 4.66% yield, backed by one of China's largest state-owned banks serving corporate, personal, and treasury clients across domestic and overseas branches. The trailing annual dividend rate is $0.26 per share, paid on a semi-monthly basis, with the next ex-dividend date set for October 9, 2026. ACGBY carries a beta of 0.166, meaning its price moves far less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize low volatility over capital gains.
Agricultural Bank of China Limited pays out 46.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful earnings retained within the bank, which operates across corporate loans, personal banking, treasury operations, and a growing suite of digital and inclusive finance services. Agricultural Bank of China Limited dividend safety gets its main test from currency and regulatory exposure: as a Chinese state-owned bank, dividend amounts in U.S. dollars fluctuate with the yuan-dollar exchange rate, and that alone can move the per-share figure materially from year to year.
Agricultural Bank of China Limited dividend history shows a CAGR of 13.8% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.2079 to $1.2656 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 150.3% in 2012, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +25.3% | $0.64 (2022) | $1.27 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +19.1% | $0.53 (2020) | $1.27 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +5.5% | $0.74 (2015) | $1.27 (2025) |
ACGBY fits dividend investors who want a high current yield from a large, diversified bank and can tolerate currency-driven payment variability. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), though at 4.66% it sits below the 5-year average of 6.56%, which means income buyers are getting less yield than the stock has historically offered. Six consecutive years of dividend increases show a recent upward direction, but the historical record includes declines, so the growth path is not uninterrupted. The trade-off is straightforward: a high yield and low beta on one side, exchange-rate sensitivity and an inconsistent long-term growth path on the other.
