ADNOC’s six listed companies represent more than $150 billion of the ADX market cap and nearly 40% of the annual dividends paid on the ADX in 2024
ADNOC has announced a target to distribute AED158 billion ($43 billion) in dividends across its six publicly listed companies through to 2030, subject to customary approvals, in addition to the AED86 billion ($23 billion) already paid since the first company Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2017.
ADNOC’s six listed companies represent more than AED550 billion ($150 billion) of the market cap and nearly 40% of the annual dividends paid on the ADX.
The announcement was made at ADNOC’s inaugural Investor Majlis in Abu Dhabi, where it was also confirmed that ADNOC Distribution, ADNOC Gas and ADNOC Logistics & Services (L&S) will be joining ADNOC Drilling in distributing dividends on a quarterly basis, giving more frequent payments to investors.
Combined with ongoing execution of the companies’ growth plans and focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation, ADNOC remains a major driver of the UAE economy.
Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, said: “In line with the vision of the UAE leadership, ADNOC is providing opportunities for citizens, residents and partners to create and enhance value that contributes to the growth of the national economy. Guided by our Board of Directors, ADNOC continues to transparently engage with investors as we reinforce the strong foundations and pillars of our listed companies. By implementing the highest standards of governance and financial discipline, further empowering our people, and investing in advanced technology and AI, we will ensure ADNOC’s long-term growth and resilience.”
Dr. Al Jaber highlighted how the listed companies are creating reliable and sustainable long-term value. He added: “Our target to distribute AED158 billion ($43 billion) in dividends is a landmark step that gives investors and shareholders clear visibility of dividend distributions through 2030. In doing so, we are reaffirming our confidence and steadfast commitment to delivering long-term value, reducing costs, enhancing efficiency and accelerating growth.”
