Equity pays a single final dividend each year, usually with book closure in late May and payment at the end of June. It does not pay an interim. Years are grouped by when the money was paid, not by the financial year the dividend relates to, so a year with two payments is not necessarily a bigger year for profits.

How to qualify for Equity Group dividends
- Own the shares before the ex-dividend date. If you buy on or after that date, the seller gets the dividend. Track upcoming dates in our NSE dividend calendar.
- Hold them in your own CDS account through a licensed stockbroker; see how to buy shares on the NSE. Keep your bank or M-Pesa details up to date with the share registrar so payments are not returned.
- Claim anything missing. Unpaid dividends are eventually transferred to the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority; see how to check and claim unclaimed dividends.
