Williamson Tea pays once a year, around 2 September, with book closure at the end of July. The 2026 dividend of KSh 15 was triple 2025’s KSh 5. 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.
