What Happened
BIDV’s Board of Directors approved the 2025 cash dividend plan, maintaining the same 4.5% rate as the previous year. The bank will distribute VND 450 per share to shareholders of record as of July 20, 2026. The total payout of over VND 3,276 billion reflects the bank’s strong profitability and capital position.
This marks the second consecutive year of cash dividends after BIDV shifted from stock-only dividends (2021-2023) back to cash payouts. The last cash dividend prior to 2024 was in 2020 at a 2% rate. The announcement follows similar moves by other state-owned banks: Vietcombank also declared a 4.5% cash dividend, while MB announced a 10% cash dividend.
Market Context
BID shares closed at VND 41,000 on July 10, 2026, down 0.61% with a volume of 2.28 million shares. The stock has been under some pressure amid a broader market where VN-Index rose 0.29% but breadth was negative (133 gainers vs. 180 decliners). Foreign investors turned net sellers on July 8 after a brief buying spree. BIDV’s dividend yield of approximately 4.5% at the current price is attractive relative to bank deposit rates and provides income support for shareholders.
Strategic Significance
The consistent cash dividend signals BIDV’s confidence in its earnings sustainability and capital adequacy. With 2025 net profit up 18.7% and retained earnings of over VND 51 trillion, the bank has ample capacity to reward shareholders while pursuing growth. The dividend also benefits the State Bank of Vietnam as the majority shareholder, providing a steady income stream. Additionally, BIDV is executing a bonus share issuance of nearly 498.2 million shares to increase charter capital from VND 72,801 billion to VND 77,783 billion, with further capital increases potentially pushing charter capital above VND 100 trillion by 2026-2027.
What to Watch
- Ex-dividend date on July 17, 2026, and subsequent price adjustment.
- Payment of dividends from August 20, 2026, and impact on liquidity.
- Progress of the bonus share issuance and further capital increase plans.
- Q2 2026 earnings release to assess profit momentum and dividend sustainability.
- Foreign ownership trends, especially KEB Hana Bank’s potential stake changes.
