Upcoming dividend of €1.80 per share Eligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 06 March 2026. Payment date: 16 March 2026. Payout ratio and cash payout ratio are on the higher end at 95% and 80% respectively. Trailing yield: 2.8%. Lower than top quartile of Italian dividend payers (4.7%).

Ex-date: 6th March 2026 Payment date: 16th March 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.9%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.1%.

The dividend has increased by an average of 2.5% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 5.7% to bring the payout ratio under control.

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 95% Cash payout ratio: 99% Dividend yield: 3.0% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Kone Oyj Provides Earnings Guidance for the Full Year 2025 KONE Oyj provided earnings guidance for the full year 2025. The company expected its sales to grow 2-5% at comparable exchange rates in 2025. KONE previously expected its sales to grow 1-6% at comparable exchange rates in 2025.

The challenging New Building Solutions market in China, slight overall decline in margin of orders booked in 2024, and a limited impact from tariffs are expected to impact profitability negatively. New Risk • Jul 04
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.2% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 0.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings (97% payout ratio). Ankündigung • Jun 18
