Although Engie has suspended its dividend payment in 2020, it is a company whose stock is a popular yield for stock market investors. Engie offers a dividend yield of over 9.28%, thanks in part to a recent decline in its share price. In this article you will find out everything you need to know about Engie's dividend, its yield, its ex-dividend date and payment date as well as its history and future dividends.
The current dividend amount proposed by Engie is €1.40 per share. This is the dividend paid to shareholders in 2023 and for the financial year 2022. This was confirmed in April 2023.
Note that the previous year, 2022, Engie paid a dividend of €0.85 per share for the year 2021.
As is the case for most French companies listed on the stock exchange, with a few exceptions, Engie's dividend is paid once a year.
The payment of this dividend is usually made in April, shortly after the publication of the company's annual results for the previous year.
In 2023, the dividend was detached on 28/04/2023 and paid two days later on 03/05/2023.
Engie recently confirmed its 2023 dividend for the 2022 financial year and this is the next dividend to be paid to shareholders. This amounts to €1.40 per share with a yield of 9.28%.
This dividend has increased significantly since the last payment in 2022, which was only €0.85 per share.
Thus, the dividend to be paid in 2023 is the largest of the last 5 years and is intended to boost share purchases and thus increase the company's share price and capitalisation.
Of course, Engie has not yet announced the 2024 dividend which will be calculated on the profits of the year 2023. We will have to wait until April 2024 to find out.
Although Engie suspended its dividend in 2020, it had previously paid its shareholders without interruption with an annual dividend since 2005. We therefore propose that you discover here the history of the dividends of this share over the last ten years as well as its rate of change over time.
Historically, Engie's dividend has shown a very fast progression over the past year with 64.71% increase. Over the last 5 years, it has also increased rapidly with an average of 14.22% per year. Finally, over the last 10 years, it has grown more slowly, with an average decrease of 0.69% per year.
The Engie dividend yield is the ratio of the amount of the dividend divided by the share price. The average share price during the period in question is generally taken into account for this calculation. Thus, while the amount of the dividend will influence its yield, the latter is also influenced by the evolution of the Engie share price.
For the last dividend paid by Engie, the 2023 dividend for the year 2022, the yield was 9.28%.
This is a very high yield compared to other companies in the sector. However, it is primarily due to the sharp decline in Engie's share price and not just the increase in the amount paid to shareholders.
Over the last 10 years, the Engie group has paid a dividend with an average yield of 5.98%, which is actually well below the last annual yield of this stock.
