Interim dividend plan supports CNOOC Ltd. stock

Based on the HKD 23.60 closing price on September 20, 2026 and the interim dividend of HKD 0.94 per share for the first half of 2026, the implied interim dividend yield for that period is about 4.0 percent on that price level, highlighting the income component of CNOOC Ltd. stock for investors who focus on cash returns.
