Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) cash dividends H2 2025 were formally approved by shareholders at the Annual General Assembly held on 2 April 2026. At the meeting, shareholders representing 91.53 percent of share capital voted in favor of distributing a AED 3.1 billion cash dividend (about $844 million) for the second half of 2025. The decision reflects broad investor support for the board’s proposal and DEWA’s continued focus on delivering returns.
Dividend Details and Timing
Under the approved plan, DEWA will pay a cash dividend of 6.2 fils per share to eligible investors. The record date for entitlement is set for 13 April 2026, and payments will be processed during April. The meeting was attended by senior leaders, including Chairman Majid Hamad Rahma Al Shamsi and MD & CEO Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer. This payment follows DEWA’s semi‑annual dividend distribution practice, designed to offer consistent returns to the company’s shareholder base.
Financial Results Underpinning the Payout
The dividend approval was supported by DEWA’s audited financial performance for 2025. Official figures presented at the assembly show that consolidated revenue for 2025 rose to AED 32.84 billion, representing an increase of about six percent compared with the prior year. In the same period, profit after tax climbed to AED 9.06 billion, an uplift of more than 25 percent. These results were confirmed by official disclosures and verified reports, providing a strong basis for the board’s recommendation of the substantial H2 dividend.
The increase in revenue was driven by stable demand for electricity, water, and related services within Dubai. This growth helped strengthen DEWA’s operating cash flows and supported the continuation of its dividend policy. The deployment of capital into infrastructure and service expansion contributed to the company’s overall performance.
