MANILA, Philippines—DMCI Holdings Inc., the Consunji-led conglomerate, announced a special cash dividend worth P8 billion on Tuesday, despite facing challenges and an 18-percent drop in net income in the first half of 2025.
DMCI said in a disclosure to the stock exchange its board declared a special cash dividend of P0.48 per share to all shareholders on record as of Nov. 5, 2025. The dividends will be paid on Nov. 21, 2025.
This is the second cash dividend declaration this year, bringing DMCI’s total dividend payout to P14.3 billion.
The aggregate dividends for the year amount to P1.08 per share, which represents 76 percent of the conglomerate’s 2024 core net income. It also translated into a dividend yield of about 10 percent based on the Oct. 20, 2025 closing price of P11.20.
“In a challenging environment, our businesses continue to perform and deliver value to our shareholders,” said DMCI chairman and president Isidro Consunji.
DMCI’s net income in the first half of the year dropped to P9.1 billion from P11.1 billion a year earlier.
The company said the integration of its newly-acquired cement operations contributed to the lower earnings.
Higher earnings from its water distribution, nickel mining and off-grid power segments helped cushion the decline.
DMCI’s coal and power generation unit, Semirara Mining and Power Corp. (SMPC), also approved a special cash dividend of P1.25 per outstanding common share on Monday.
The new dividend brings SMPC’s total dividend payout for 2025 to P13.8 billion, or 70 percent of its 2024 net income of P19.6 billion.
Aside from coal and power generation, DMCI also has investments in real estate, nickel mining, construction and cement manufacturing.
