Kanzhun Limited declared an annual cash dividend of $0.255 per ordinary share, equivalent to $0.510 per American Depositary Share (ADS). The board approved the payout on August 25, 2026, signaling continued commitment to shareholder returns through its surplus cash reserves.

The aggregate dividend amount is approximately $230 million. The company will fund this distribution entirely from its balance sheet cash position. Holders of record as of the close of business on September 28, 2026, in Beijing and New York time, will be eligible for the payment.

Dividend Schedule and Logistics

The ex-dividend date for Hong Kong-listed ordinary shares is September 25, 2026. For ADS holders, the ex-dividend date is September 28, 2026. Payments are expected to be made on October 6, 2026, for ordinary shares and around October 14, 2026, for ADSs.

To qualify for the dividend, holders of ordinary shares must lodge valid transfer documents with Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services by 4:30 pm on September 28, 2026.

Total Shareholder Returns Context

Jonathan Peng Zhao, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, noted that total shareholder returns this year have already exceeded 100% of the prior year’s adjusted net income. This figure combines the $230 million dividend with over $300 million in share buybacks completed year-to-date.

What the Numbers Show

The company’s capital return strategy relies heavily on its cash generation capabilities. Deputy Chief Financial Officer Wenbei Wang cited healthy cash flow and ample cash reserves as the basis for these arrangements. The combination of dividends and buybacks totaling over $530 million indicates a significant deployment of liquidity towards equity holders rather than retained earnings or external expansion during this period.
