Dividends
EQUITA benefits from a particular business model that invests in capital-light initiatives. This allows the Group to use the cash generated from net profits to finance distributions to shareholders, M&A transactions and investments in new initiatives aimed at accelerating organic growth, keeping at the same time strong financial soundness as demonstrated by the rock-solid capital ratios, well above minimum capital requirements.
Figures referred to total dividends and per share dividends distributed since IPO include the 2023 dividend proposal, to be paid out in 2024
Historically, EQUITA has always distributed to shareholders 100% of net profits. Since 2017, following the admission to AIM Italia (today Euronext Growth Milan) and the translisting to Euronext STAR Mial in 2018, the management has decided to retain each year a portion of net profits, to pursue a more conservative approach aimed at promoting increasing dividends and finance potential accretive corporate finance transactions.

EQUITA is the leading independent investment bank in Italy and the go-to partner for investors, listed companies, corporates and financial institutions.
