At Piazza Affari 26 billion in dividends
According to all analysts, 2022 will be a very generous season both in Italy and abroad. Suffice it to say that, according to the data processed by the Equita research office for MF-Milano Finanza, this year in Piazza Affari the total coupons approved by listed companies will exceed 26 billion euros, almost 9 billion more than last year, when, however, many big names in the banking and insurance sector were forced not to pay the dividend due to the stop imposed by the regulatory authorities. Not only that, among the Milanese companies, there will be 31 that will offer a yield above 5% (four of which will detach the coupon on Tuesday 19 April).
Globally, Janus Henderson the offer a new coupon record: the total amount could reach 1,52 trillion dollars, with an increase of 3,1% on a nominal basis or 5,7% in underlying terms. IHS Markit is even more optimistic, estimating a 6% increase to $2.090 trillion.
