Century Properties Group Inc. (CPG) is standing by its commitment to reward shareholders, declaring a P554.89-million cash dividend for 2026 while maintaining the higher 20 percent payout policy it adopted last year despite an uncertain business environment.
The listed property developer’s board approved the regular cash dividend during a special meeting on July 17, translating to P0.047837 per share, or 20 percent of the company’s consolidated net income in 2025.
At CPG’s July 17 closing share price, the payout offers an estimated dividend yield of 6.8 percent, making it one of the more attractive cash returns among listed property firms.
Shareholders on record as of Aug. 28, 2026 will receive the dividend, with payment scheduled for Sept. 23.
“We are pleased to continue our enhanced dividend policy, reinforcing our commitment to providing stable and sustainable returns for our shareholders,” said CPG President and Chief Executive Officer Marco R. Antonio.
The declaration underscores the company’s confidence in its financial position after reporting another year of solid earnings growth. Net income climbed 13.6 percent to P2.77 billion in 2025 from P2.44 billion a year earlier, supported by sustained demand for its residential developments and disciplined execution of its expansion strategy.
“Maintaining our 20 percent dividend payout despite geopolitical uncertainties and a challenging business environment reflects the resilience of our business, our disciplined financial management, and our confidence in the company’s long-term growth strategy,” Antonio said.
CPG doubled its minimum dividend payout policy from 10 percent to 20 percent beginning in 2025, signaling a stronger focus on shareholder returns while continuing to invest in future growth.
Antonio said future dividend declarations will continue to be guided by earnings, cash flow, investment opportunities and the company’s overall financial position, allowing Century Properties to balance expansion with consistent returns for investors.
The latest payout reinforces a broader trend among listed Philippine companies that are raising dividends as stronger balance sheets and healthier earnings allow them to return more cash to shareholders while pursuing long-term growth.
