Analysts coverage & consensus

In an effort to increase the transparency towards the financial community, Solvay has chosen Vara Research, an independent service provider, to collect the most recent analysts’ estimates.

Solvay is covered by various financial analysts providing their own analyses and earnings estimates on the company.

An attractive dividend policy

Solvay’s policy is to propose a dividend increase to its shareholders whenever possible. For over 30 years, the dividend has been stable or has gradually increased, and has never been reduced.

Our yearly dividend is paid in two instalments:

1. an interim dividend (typically 40% of the previous year’s total dividend), plus a balance payment for the final dividend. The interim dividend is announced with the Third Quarter Results and paid in January.
2. the final dividend is announced in February, along with our Full Year Results, and is paid after the yearly Shareholders Meeting, in May.
