The board approved a regular dividend of P1.50 per share, up 25 percent from last year, plus a P1.00 special dividend, both payable on May 22 to shareholders on record by May 9.
This year’s payout is 14 percent higher than in 2024 and reflects a dividend yield of 2.8 percent, based on the April 23 closing price of P89.55.
The move follows a strong 13 percent profit increase, with net income rising to P24.8 billion.
Reinforcing investor confidence, Moody’s affirmed Chinabank’s investment-grade credit rating of “Baa2” with a “Stable” outlook in April.
