What is the amount of the dividend paid by BMW?

In 2021, the BMW Group paid a dividend of €3.80 per share to its shareholders. This dividend corresponds to the dividend on the results of the financial year 2020.

BMW has also recently announced its dividend for 2022, which will be €5.80 per share for the financial year 2021.

When is BMW's dividend payment due?

As is the case for most German and European stocks, BMW's dividend is paid once a year with an ex-dividend date in May.

In 2021, the ex-dividend date was 12 May 2021 and the payment date was 16 May 2021.

What is the next expected dividend for BMW shares?

The next dividend to be paid by BMW to its shareholders is the dividend for the financial year 2021. This is subject to a vote by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting before it is paid out.

At the end of the last board meeting, an amount of 5.80€ per share was decided. This amount will be detached on 12 May 2022 and paid on 16 May 2022.

It is noticeable that the amount of BMW's dividend for this year 2022 is much higher than last year's dividend. This is largely due to the fact that the company has managed the semiconductor shortage better than its competitors and has posted significantly higher sales in 2021, resulting in higher sales and profits with a 12.4% increase in revenue.

The company has therefore decided to thank its shareholders by increasing its dividend. It is also expected to launch a large share buyback programme this year.
