Arcadis betaalt toch geen dividend in 2020 vanwege coronacrisis
In februari werden beleggers nog enthousiast van een aangekondigde dividendverhoging van 19% door Arcadis. Nu dus wordt dat voorstel ingetrokken en staat de aandeelhouder met lege handen in 2020 door de voortdurende coronacrisis.
The focus of Arcadis in the last two years has been on reducing debt and strengthening the balance sheet. The strategy has resulted in a solid financial position and good liquidity. In order to contain its cost and protect its cash position, Arcadis has decided as a precautionary measure to stop the current share buy-back program and to withdraw the dividend proposal from the agenda for the Annual General Meeting as scheduled for May 6th, 2020. Arcadis does understand the importance of dividends for its shareholders but considers this decision to be in the best interest of Arcadis, its people, its clients and its shareholders. bron: persbericht Arcadis 26 maart 2020
