        "summary": "PT Bank Mega Tbk. (MEGA) shares have surged nearly 40% year-to-date, closing at Rp4,550 per share, significantly outperforming major Indonesian bank stocks. Bank Mega's CEO, Kostaman Thayib, attributes this rise to the bank's announcement of a substantial cash dividend payout and bonus shares, approved at the annual general meeting. The cash dividend for the 2025 fiscal year totals Rp2 trillion (Rp171.95 per share), a 91.82% increase from 2024, while bonus shares worth Rp5.87 trillion will be distributed at a 1:1 ratio to shareholders.",
        "content": "<p>PT Bank Mega Tbk. (MEGA) has addressed the significant increase in\nits share price, which contrasts with those of Indonesia\u2019s major banks.\nThe mid-tier bank\u2019s shares have risen nearly 40% so far this year. MEGA\nshares last closed at Rp4,550 per share, up 38.72% year-to-date. At\ntheir peak this year, MEGA reached Rp5,150 per share in February.\nAccording to Bank Mega\u2019s President Director, Kostaman Thayib, the share\nmovement is linked to several corporate actions undertaken by the bank\nthis year. \u201cIndeed, if we observe after the disclosure that Bank Mega\nwill distribute cash dividends and bonus shares to be decided at the AGM\ntoday, we see a surge or increase in Bank Mega\u2019s shares,\u201d Kostaman said\nat the Bank Mega Auditorium on Tuesday (31\/3\/2026). Bank Mega will\ndistribute a cash dividend for the 2025 fiscal year amounting to Rp2\ntrillion, or Rp171.95 per share. This amount represents a 91.82%\nincrease compared to the 2024 fiscal year dividend. In addition, Bank\nMega will distribute bonus shares derived from the capitalisation of\nadditional paid-in capital (share premium) with a total value of Rp5.87\ntrillion. The company will distribute 11.74 billion bonus shares,\nallocated proportionally to each shareholder\u2019s holdings in MEGA at a\nratio of 1:1. Both corporate actions were agreed upon at the Annual\nGeneral Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) held at the Bank Mega Tower\nAuditorium, Jakarta, on Tuesday (31\/3\/2026). \u201cI believe the share\nincrease is influenced by those two pieces of information regarding the\ncash dividend and bonus shares distribution,\u201d Kostaman stated.<\/p>",
