Breaking News: Ferrovial Accelerates Dividend Payment!
Ferrovial SE (ticker: FER) has announced a significant update for its shareholders. The company is adjusting the timeline for its interim scrip dividend, originally declared on October 15, 2025, with further details on October 23, 2025. The total dividend amounts to EUR 342 million, and the dividend per share is EUR 0.4769, for shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.01 each.
What's Changing?
The most important change is the payment date. Instead of the initially announced date of December 3, 2025, shareholders can now expect to receive their dividends starting from November 25, 2025. This acceleration is designed to get funds to shareholders quicker.
How Will You Receive Your Dividend?
Ferrovial plans to distribute dividends using treasury shares. This means the company will use its own existing shares, which generally speeds up the payment process compared to issuing new shares. Shareholders have the choice to receive the dividend in shares or cash. If no choice is made during the election period, which ends on November 11, 2025, the dividend will automatically be paid in shares.
