Why is this important
Click’s decision to allocate a portion of the retained earnings to dividends shows that the company is ready to return the money to shareholders rather than keeping the entire result on the balance sheet. For investors, the key is the amount of payment per share and the timing of receipt, as this directly affects the expected return. At the same time, retaining a large portion of the company’s profits means that shareholders are being signaled about the priority of further decisions regarding the use of capital, rather than the full distribution of funds now.
What happened
- Click shareholders decided to pay dividends from the company’s retained earnings of 36 billion soums, while paying 1800 soums for one ordinary share in circulation.
- The Supervisory Board approved the distribution of Click’s retained earnings of 150,625,463,000 soums.
- It is reported that payments will be made in cash through the Central Securities Depository or an investment intermediary until March 16, 2026, and the remaining amount will be retained as retained earnings until further decision is made.
Numbers and facts
- At the meeting, a decision was made on the distribution of retained earnings in the amount of 150,625,463,000.00 soums.
- 36 billion soums from retained earnings will be allocated for dividend payments to ordinary shareholders.
- The dividend amount will be 1800 soums for each ordinary share in circulation.
- Dividend payments will be made in cash through the Central Securities Depository or an investment intermediary in accordance with the legislation.
- The dividend payment deadline is set for March 16, 2026, with 114.63 billion soums remaining as retained earnings until further decision is made.
Context
- For shareholders, this records a clear monetary result: the company has determined the amount of dividends and the deadline for their payment, as well as the receipt channel through the depository or intermediary.
- Since the payment comes from retained earnings, the decision doesn’t change current operating indicators but shows the chosen balance between payments and retention within the company.
- Saving 114.63 billion soums “for later” means that the issuer retains a reserve of capital, and the further direction of profit utilization will depend on the following decisions of management bodies.
