MUNICH – Wacker Neuson SE held its Annual General Meeting at the hbw Conference Center in Munich on May 13, 2026, where shareholders overwhelmingly approved all management proposals, including a higher dividend for the 2025 fiscal year.
The meeting approved a dividend of EUR 0.70 per eligible share, representing a 17% increase from the previous year's EUR 0.60 per share. This decision reflects the company's commitment to shareholder compensation and its strategy to distribute a significant portion of profits.
