FCMB Proposes 35 Kobo Final Dividend for 2025, Down From 55 Kobo in 2024
First City Monument Bank, (FCMB), has proposed a final dividend of 35 kobo per ordinary share for the financial year ended December 31, 2025.
The Board of Directors announced the recommendation in a corporate disclosure, marking a drop from the 55 kobo paid to shareholders for 2024.
Despite the lower per-share rate, the total dividend payout rises to N23.08 billion, up from N21.78 billion the previous year.
The increase is driven by a larger share base after 23.18 billion additional shares were allotted after year-end.
The dividend remains subject to shareholder approval at FCMB’s upcoming Annual General Meeting.
If approved, it will be paid on all shares in issue at the declaration date, including the newly allotted shares.
The move signals FCMB’s effort to balance shareholder returns with capital expansion following its recent share issuance.
Investors will watch the AGM for final confirmation and details on the payment date.
