Bank of China Limited dividend income comes from one of the world's oldest and most diversified banking institutions, founded in 1912 and headquartered in Beijing. BACHY currently yields 3.41%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $5.66 per share paid monthly, and the next ex-dividend date falls on July 2, 2026. With a beta of just 0.102, this stock moves far less than the broader market, which suits income-focused investors who prioritize low volatility over rapid price appreciation.
Bank of China Limited pays out 55.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer of retained earnings, supported by the bank's six revenue divisions spanning Corporate Banking, Personal Banking, Treasury Operations, Investment Banking, Insurance, and Other Operations. Bank of China Limited dividend safety faces its most notable pressure from the dividend's own history: the annual per-share amount has declined in multiple years, showing that payouts are sensitive to earnings fluctuations across its global operations.
Bank of China Limited dividend history shows a CAGR of 1.3% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.0114 to $1.2216 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 50.1% in 2025, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which means growth has been anything but linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +12.0% | $0.87 (2022) | $1.22 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +12.6% | $0.68 (2020) | $1.22 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.8% | $0.77 (2015) | $1.22 (2025) |
Bank of China Limited fits income-focused investors who want exposure to a large, diversified banking operation and can accept a yield that sits below its own historical average. The current yield of 3.41% falls in the moderate (2–4%) range, and it trails the 5-year average of 4.56% by more than a full percentage point. Growth is slow at 1.3% annually, and the dividend has declined in past years, so this is not a compounding growth story. What an investor gets is a monthly-paying, low-beta income stock with a manageable payout ratio. The trade-off is accepting below-average yield relative to BACHY's own history and limited dividend growth.
