Group managing director and group chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Rashid Mohamad said the bank has lifted its dividend payout ratio guidance from the previous 30%-50% band to a higher range of 50%-60%. “I'm pleased to share that we have moved our guidance [for dividend payout ratio] now to 50% to 60%," he said in a press conference following the release of the bank's financial results on Friday. "The 65% dividend payout this year is also at the back of our good result for 2025,” he added, noting that the bancassurance partnerships helped support a higher payout for last year. On FY2026 capital plans, Mohd Rashid said “there’s no capital management plan as yet for now”, noting that the bank’s capital position remains sufficiently strong. RHB’s common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio strengthened to 15.2% post-dividend, a level analysts consider robust.
