Stellantis' dividend payment schedule is annual. This means that, apart from exceptional payments, the company pays its shareholders once a year.

What is the next dividend forecast for Stellantis shares?

Stellantis recently announced its 2022 dividend, which corresponds to the dividend for the 2021 financial year. This appears to have risen sharply to €1.04 per share, compared with only €0.32 per share in 2021 for the 2020 financial year. 

Remember that in 2021, Stellantis shareholders received a total dividend of €0.32 per share, which is of course well below the dividend that was paid in April 2022.

This very strong increase in the Stellantis dividend can be explained in different ways but mainly by the above expectation results of the financial year 2021. Indeed, following the Stellantis Board meeting, management indicated its intention to recommend a distribution to shareholders of all profits made in that year, which represents more than 3.3 billion euros or 3.7 billion US dollars. 

Stellantis share dividend history:

To understand the history of Stellantis' dividend payments, let's first recall that this company has only been listed on the stock exchange under this name since 2019. This is because the merger between the PSA group and Fiat Chrysler took place on that date, giving rise to this new company.  Thus, the history of this company's dividend is relatively recent. However, we now propose that you discover this history with the amount of the last dividends paid by Stellantis as well as their evolution from one year to the next.

• In 2022, the Stellantis dividend was €1.04 with a 225% increase
• In 2021, the Stellantis dividend was €0.32 with a decrease of 54.29%.
• In 2020, the Stellantis dividend was €0.70 with a decrease of 64.1%.
• In 2019, the Stellantis dividend was €1.95 with a 100% increase

Although we have little information about the evolution of the company's dividend over time, we can see that it has grown very quickly this year, with an impressive 225% increase. The more negative evolution over the last three years is not to be interpreted on its own, as it is of course the result of the negative effects that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the financial results of most of the companies in the automotive sector.

What is the dividend yield on Stellantis shares?

Before revealing the dividend yield paid by Stellantis, let's take the time to remind you that it is this yield that accounts for the profitability of this share and not the amount of the dividend alone. In fact, to calculate the dividend yield, we must take into account both the amount of the dividend and the stock market price of the share. The amount of the dividend is divided by the share price.

The dividend paid by Stellantis in 2022 and for the financial year 2021 thus shows a yield of 7.39%.

Since Stellantis has decided to pay out all its profits to its shareholders in 2022 for the financial year 2021, its Payout Ratio reaches 100% this year. Of course, this was not the case previously as the payout ratio for the year 2021 was only 2.1%. However, this extremely high rate cannot be implemented every year and represents an exceptional decision. Indeed, Stellantis needs to retain a portion of its income to make investments and support its growth.
