Huya Inc. Announces Ex-Dividend Date for Cash Dividend
On March 20, 2025, Huya Inc., a leading game live streaming platform based in China, disclosed that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has set July 1, 2025, as the ex-dividend date for the Company’s cash dividend. This dividend was announced on March 18, 2025, as part of Huya’s 2025-2027 Dividend Plan.
Understanding the Ex-Dividend Date
The ex-dividend date is significant because it determines when shareholders are eligible to receive a declared dividend. If an investor buys the stock before the ex-dividend date, they are entitled to the upcoming dividend payment. Conversely, if they buy the stock on or after the ex-dividend date, they are not eligible for the dividend payment.
Huya’s Cash Dividend Details
Huya’s cash dividend amounts to US$1.47 per ordinary share or US$1.47 per American depositary share (ADS). Given that this dividend exceeds 25% of the Company’s ADS price on the announcement date, the NYSE has determined that the ex-dividend date will be July 1, 2025, the first business day following the expected dividend payment date of June 30, 2025.
Impact on Individual Investors
If you are an existing Huya shareholder and have held the stock before the ex-dividend date, you are eligible to receive the US$1.47 cash dividend per share. The dividend will be paid on the record date, which is typically a few days after the ex-dividend date. Keep in mind that taxes may apply to the dividend income, depending on your tax residency and filing status.
Global Implications
Huya’s dividend announcement could have broader implications for the global financial markets, particularly the technology sector. The decision to pay a cash dividend may signal Huya’s confidence in its financial position and its commitment to returning value to its shareholders. Additionally, the dividend could attract investors seeking income-generating opportunities, potentially driving up the stock price.
Conclusion
Huya Inc.’s announcement of the ex-dividend date for its US$1.47 cash dividend has significant implications for both individual investors and the global financial markets. Existing Huya shareholders who held the stock before July 1, 2025, are eligible to receive the dividend payment. The dividend could also attract income-seeking investors, potentially driving up the stock price and benefiting the broader technology sector.
