The latest announcement is out from Jardine Matheson Holdings ( (GB:JAR) ).
Jardine Matheson Holdings has set the terms for the scrip dividend alternative for its 2025 final dividend, declaring a cash dividend of US$1.75 per share with shareholders able to elect to receive shares instead. The scrip entitlement will be calculated using a reference market value of US$72.58074 per share, implying that shareholders will receive one new share for every 41.47471 shares held if they choose the stock alternative, a move that offers flexibility on income versus reinvestment and may modestly support the company’s capital position.
The announcement specifies that the reference share price is based on the volume-weighted average price of Jardine Matheson shares on the Singapore Exchange over the five trading days up to and including 24 April 2026. This pricing mechanism aligns the scrip issue with recent market valuations, giving investors clarity on the effective reinvestment rate of their dividend while limiting dilution through a formula tied to prevailing trading levels.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:JAR) stock is a Buy with a $94.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jardine Matheson Holdings stock, see the GB:JAR Stock Forecast page.
