Dividend
Our target: Increase the absolute dividend amount each year
The Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2024 resolved to pay out a dividend of € 1.10 per ordinary share and € 1.11 per preference share for the fiscal year 2023. The dividend amounting to a total of 147,044,311.13 € is paid out starting on May 13, 2024. This is the 22nd consecutive dividend increase. Herewith we continue our stable dividend policy. Dividends are remitted on the third Banking day after the Annual General Meeting. All shareholders possessing FUCHS shares on the day of the Annual General Meeting are entitled to receive payment of the dividend.
Based on the unappropriated profits of € 153 million the Executive Board proposes to increase the dividend by € 0.06 per share over the previous year to € 1.16 per ordinary share entitled to a dividend and to € 1.17 per preference share entitled to a dividend and thus pay out a dividend of € 153 million.
