It is then voted on by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Only then is it detached and paid out.

As Saint-Gobain is a French company listed on the stock exchange, the payment of its dividend follows an annual rhythm. This means that shareholders receive this dividend once a year, usually in June or July.

The last dividend paid by Saint-Gobain to its shareholders, i.e. the 2022 dividend, was ex-dividend on 6 June 2022 and was paid on 8 June 2022, two days later.

What is the next dividend forecast for Saint-Gobain shares?

Of course, it is not yet possible to know the amount of the next dividend planned for the Saint-Gobain share, or even the dates of detachment and payment to shareholders.

It should be remembered that this dividend must first be calculated on the basis of the results for the year 2022. This calculation will therefore be made in the first quarter of 2023, after the official publication of these annual results.

It will then be communicated to shareholders by the Board of Directors in an official press release.
