Huawei recently announced its dividend data and will continue to implement stock dividends in 2021. According to reports, it will have an estimated 1.58 yuan per share. No doubt, Huawei is still struggling with the numerous bans from the U.S. However, the company will still spend tens of billions of funds to distribute dividends to employees. The shareholding dividends are an important part of Huawei’s employees’ income.
At present, Huawei’s employee compensation mainly includes three parts: wages, bonuses, and dividends. According to Huawei’s previously released 2020 annual report, Huawei Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. is a 100% employee-owned private enterprise. Huawei implements an employee stock ownership plan through the labor union. The number of participants in the employee stock ownership plan is 121,269 (as of December 31, 2020), and all participants are company employees.
The financial report shows that Ren Zhengfei holds the company’s shares as a natural person shareholder. Furthermore, Ren Zhengfei also participates in the employee stock ownership plan. As of December 31, 2020, Ren Zhengfei’s total investment was equivalent to approximately 0.90% of the company’s total share capital. In 2020, Huawei’s share price is 7.85 yuan per share, of which 1.86 yuan per share will be distributed. At the same time, the company’s expenditure on wages, salaries, and other benefits in 2020 will reach 139.095 billion yuan ($21.8). Based on 194,000 employees, the per capita salary of its employees will reach 700,000 yuan ($110,000). Furthermore, its total number of shares exceeds 20 billion shares, which means that the dividend will exceed 30 billion in 2020.
