FDC declares cash dividends

Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC) is returning cash to shareholders after delivering record earnings, underscoring its ability to sustain payouts despite global uncertainties.

The Gotiaunun-led conglomerate said on Friday in its annual stockholders’s meeting that its board approved a cash dividend of P0.14027 per share. This equivalent to about P1.21 billion, for stockholders on record as of May 12. Payment is set on May 22.

This translates to a dividend yield of 3.1 percent based on FDC’s end-December 2025 share price. It reflects steady returns even as external risks persist.

The payout follows a banner year for the Filinvest Group. Net income attributable to equity holders climbed 24 percent to P15 billion in 2025, from P12.1 billion a year earlier.

Consolidated net income rose 20 percent year-on-year to P18.9 billion, while total revenues and other income reached P120.6 billion, up from P113.4 billion previously.

FDC said the performance marked its highest profit on record, supported by broad-based growth across its core businesses.

Banking and financial services remained the largest earnings contributor, accounting for P7 billion or 40 percent of total net income.

The remaining 4 percent came from other business units, highlighting the group’s diversified earnings base.

FDC said the results reflect continued execution of its strategies and growing contributions from newer platforms.
