In the second quarter, to $ 426.8 billion was paid out in dividends.
The year 2014 on track to be an exceptional year for dividends. In France, they are up 30% in the second quarter.
European growth is down but not dividends paid to shareholders! According to a study published by Henderson Global Investors, dividends paid in the second quarter by European companies show an increase of 18.2% to reach the sum of 153.4 billion dollars. For France, the dividends for the second quarter (year over year) even stand up 30.3% to 40.7 billion. Globally, rising 11.7% to 426.8 billion dollars. American companies and paid 89.4 billion dollars in dividends, up 13.7% year on year. These figures reflect the rather successful financial health of listed except those emerging countries that have not returned to their former dynamism companies. Dividends were down by 14.6%. Japanese companies have paid dividends in turn an increase of 18.3% to 25.2 billion.
It is thus already-and-already estimate that 2014 will be just simply “exceptional” in the distribution of dividends. In fact, the second quarter is traditionally decisive since it represents the 2.5 th annual payments. Especially since this increase is not due to an artificial contribution of the effect changes as was the case in 2011 Globally, currency impact had a limited impact in the second quarter estimated by the authors of the study to about 1.5%. “ In 2011, more than a third of the growth came from the depreciation of the dollar (…) It is particularly encouraging to see that Europe and Japan produce large increases for their shareholders, having recently posted a far behind the rest of the world “said Alex Crooke, director of international equity management with high performance at Henderson Global Investors.
