SM Investments Corporation (SM), the parent company of the SM group, announced Wednesday an increase in dividend payments by 31 percent to PHP17 per share from PHP13 in 2025 reflecting the Group’s ability to generate cash while continuing to invest for long-term growth.
This also represents a 2.4 percent dividend yield using the December 31, 2025 share price. Total dividends increased to PHP20.7 billion from PHP16.0 billion in 2025.
This marks the fifth consecutive year SM increased dividends and comes on top of a 44 percent increase in dividend per share last year.
Over the past five years, parent-level dividends increased from PHP5 billion in 2021 to PHP16 billion in 2025. This translates to a compounded annual growth rate of over 32 percent.
Since listing in 2005, SM has returned PHP148.9 billion in dividends to shareholders as of end-2025.
SM Investments Chairman Amando Tetangco said the conglomerate intends to provider greater dividends while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
