Positive Technologies proposes 28.08-ruble dividend after 2024 payout pause
Positive Technologies has proposed a dividend payout of 28.08 rubles per share for 2025. The recommendation comes after the company skipped profit distribution for full-year 2024. Shareholders will vote on the proposal at an upcoming meeting. The board of directors announced the dividend plan, which totals 2 billion rubles. To qualify, investors must hold shares by May 14, with the official registration date set for May 17. If approved, the payout will be recorded against first-quarter 2026 net profit.
The company follows a policy of distributing 50–100% of its net management profit (NIC), provided its debt-to-EBITDA ratio stays below 2.5. Its last dividend was issued for the first quarter of 2024. Shareholders will make the final decision on May 6.
On April 2, Positive Technologies' shares closed at 1,100 rubles, a 1.9% drop from the previous session. The proposed dividend marks a return to payouts after a year without distributions. Eligible shareholders will receive 28.08 rubles per share if the plan is approved. The company's financial policy ties payouts to debt levels and annual profitability.
