Yesterday, Cinkarna Celje went ex-date, and as a result, the Company’s shares declined by 0.9%, compared to the DY of 4.2%.
The ex-date refers to the second Cinkarna Celje’s dividend payment this year, in the amount of EUR 0.9 DPS, and a DY of 4.2%. The payment date is due on 28 June 2024.
As a reminder, the ex-date is the last date that investors are eligible for the dividend payment, after which everyone who becomes a shareholder of the Company’s shares won’t be eligible for the dividend payment. As such, it is usually expected that on the ex-date the Company’s share price declines in the amount of the dividend yield.
As a reminder, due to the restrictions on the payment of dividends to shareholders from the 2022 net profit, the same restrictions related to government subsidy received in that year, Cinkarna Celje also paid out the dividend from that year’s profit this year, in the amount of EUR 3.2 DPS. Before the announcement, the DY of this payment amounted to 15.3%. In other words, this dividend of EUR 0.9 DPS represents the 2nd, additional, dividend payment during this year as a result of aforementioned developments. As such, the total amount paid to shareholders in 2024 amounts to EUR 4.1 per share, implying an overall dividend yield of 19.4%.
