Declared Dividend • May 03
Dividend of €1.68 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of €1.68. Ex-date: 7th May 2026 Payment date: 11th May 2026 Dividend yield will be 5.1%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.8%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (169% earnings payout ratio) nor is it adequately covered by cash flows (100% cash payout ratio).
