A blue-chip stock is a top-tier equity, characterized by high liquidity and a substantial market capitalization, often reaching tens to hundreds of trillions of Rupiah. On the IDX, blue-chip stocks are key components of major indices such as the LQ45.

The LQ45 constituent slated to distribute a dividend of Rp 29,200 per lot is PT Astra International Tbk, also known by its ticker ASII. The cum date for ASII‘s dividend payment is today, Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

The cum dividend date marks the final period during which a stock trades with the right to receive the declared dividend. To qualify for the dividend, investors must purchase the shares no later than the cum dividend date and hold them until the recording date.

According to an announcement on ksei.co.id, ASII will distribute a cash dividend of Rp 292 per share. This follows an interim dividend of Rp 98 per share previously paid by the Astra Group-owned company.

Consequently, the total dividend from ASII for the fiscal year 2025 amounts to Rp 390 per share.

The last day for trading ASII shares with dividend rights, or the cum date for the regular and negotiation markets, is May 5, 2026. This means investors who aim to receive the dividend but do not yet own the shares still have a chance to buy them today at the latest.

Conversely, existing ASII shareholders must hold their shares until the end of trading on May 7, 2026, to ensure they do not forfeit their dividend rights.

Eligible ASII shareholders will receive their dividend payments on May 25, 2026.

Below is the detailed schedule for ASII‘s final dividend for the fiscal year 2025:

  • Cum Dividend (Regular & Negotiation Market): 5 May 2026.
  • Ex Dividend (Regular & Negotiation Market): 6 May 2026.
  • Cum Dividend (Cash Market): 7 May 2026.
  • Recording Date (Shareholders List): 7 May 2026.
  • Payment Date (Dividend Payment): 25 May 2026.

For consideration, ASII’s share price closed at Rp 6,075 at the end of trading on Monday, May 4, 2026, an increase of 100 points or 1.67% from the previous day. Based on this price, the potential dividend yield, or return on capital invested in the stock, is approximately 4.8%.

This ASII dividend yield is notably double the annual interest rate of 2%-3% typically offered by general bank deposits.

Recommendation for ASII Shares

Amidst a weakening trend in stock prices and upcoming dividend payouts, Nafan Aji Gusta, Senior Market Analyst at Mirae Asset Sekuritas, recommends an “accumulative buy” for ASII with a target price of Rp 7,900. According to Gusta, ASII holds promising performance prospects, particularly with the recommencement of operations at the Martabe gold mine.

The temporary halt of the Martabe gold mine significantly impacted ASII‘s performance in Q1 2025. According to financial reports as of March 31, 2026, ASII recorded a net revenue of Rp 78.66 trillion, marking a 5.63% year-on-year (YoY) decrease from Rp 83.36 trillion in Q1 2025.

Furthermore, profit attributable to the parent entity of ASII fell by 15.61% YoY, reaching Rp 5.85 trillion in Q1 2026, down from Rp 6.93 trillion achieved in Q1 2025.

“(Martabe’s restart) should drive margin recovery, as this gold mine boasts an 8% margin, which is significantly higher and more stable compared to coal services or heavy equipment sales,” Gusta told Kontan on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.

Additionally, Gusta highlighted that the sustained strength in global gold prices for the fiscal year 2026 could serve as an extra catalyst from the Martabe Gold Mine, helping to balance the portfolio and act as a hedging mechanism for ASII.

Summary

PT Astra International Tbk (ASII), a blue-chip stock on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, is distributing a final dividend of Rp 292 per share, bringing the total fiscal year 2025 dividend to Rp 390 per share. Investors seeking this dividend must purchase shares by the cum dividend date of May 5, 2026, with the final payment scheduled for May 25, 2026. This payout offers a dividend yield of approximately 4.8%, which is double the average interest rate provided by standard bank deposits.

Despite a decline in Q1 2026 revenue and profit, market analysts recommend an “accumulative buy” for ASII with a target price of Rp 7,900. This positive outlook is driven by the restart of the Martabe gold mine, which is expected to support margin recovery and act as a financial hedge. The company aims to leverage stable global gold prices to improve its overall performance following recent operational challenges.
