Understanding AIRTELAFRI's Dividend Record
Historical dividend growth
Airtel Africa's annual dividend fell from 6.00 US cents in FY2019/20 to 4.00 cents in FY2020/21 before increasing in every subsequent financial year to 7.10 cents in FY2025/26.
Payment history
Airtel Africa has historically paid both interim and final cash dividends. Interim distributions have generally been paid around November or December, while final distributions have generally been paid around July.
Dividend currency
Airtel Africa declares dividends in US cents per ordinary share. NGX shareholders may receive the payment in Nigerian naira using an exchange rate announced for the relevant distribution.
Financial year versus payment year
Airtel Africa's financial year ends on March 31. DividendNode therefore preserves financial-year labels such as FY2025/26 rather than converting them into ordinary calendar-year labels.
