Insights

Futu announces a sizable US$365 million cash dividend.

Futu Holdings Limited is returning cash to shareholders via a dividend of US$0.325 per ordinary share, or US$2.6 per ADS, with an aggregate payout of about US$365 million. This suggests the company currently has available resources to distribute.

The record date is April 16, 2026, meaning investors must hold shares or ADSs by that close of business to receive the dividend. Payment is expected on or around April 29, 2026.

"or US$2.6 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”), payable in U.S. dollars"
An American Depositary Share (ADS) is a U.S.-listed certificate that represents a specified number of shares in a foreign company, held by a custodian bank; it works like a receipt that allows U.S. investors to buy and trade foreign equity on American exchanges without dealing with another country’s markets. Investors care because ADSs make foreign stocks easier to access, improve liquidity and settlement in dollars, and can affect dividend payments, voting rights and regulatory oversight compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
