Porsche AG Board Drastically Cuts 2025 Annual Dividend ~50%
Click for less.
At the Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG (P911.DE) today approved all of the management’s proposed resolutions on the agenda.* However, Porsche AG is only paying a dividend of €1.00 per ordinary share and €1.01 euros per preferred share for the 2025 financial year. This corresponds to a total dividend payout of ~€916 million. The dividend is manifestly lower than in the previous year in absolute terms due to Porsche’s ongoing strategic realignment prompted by economic and geopolitical struggles. [2024 Financial Year: €2.30 (Ordinary). €2.31 (Preferred) – Autocrat.]
“This is a responsible approach for the company and its stakeholders,” said CEO Dr Michael Leiters. “We are ensuring financial flexibility during this transformational phase and systematically supporting our strategic realignment. The management’s goal remains to sustainably strengthen the robustness of the business model and create long-term value.”
The Annual General Meeting also formally approved the actions of the members of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board in office in the 2025 financial year for this period. The remuneration report submitted was also approved. (Click HERE)
