Consunji’s Semirara Mining and Power boosts 2025 payouts to P13.8B after new P1.25 special dividend

Semirara Mining and Power Corp. (SMPC), backed by the Consunji family holding firm DMCI Holdings, has approved a special cash dividend of P1.25 per share, adding to its already hefty shareholder returns this year.

Shareholders of record as of Nov. 4 will receive payment on Nov. 20, following an earlier P2 per share payout in April. 

“This dividend reflects our commitment to give back to our shareholders whenever our performance allows,” said Maria Cristina C. Gotianun, president, chief operating officer, and chief sustainability officer of SMPC.

The latest declaration raises SMPC’s total 2025 dividend payout to P13.8 billion, equivalent to 70 percent of its 2024 net income of P19.6 billion, well above its minimum policy of 20 percent. 

On a per-share basis, total dividends now stand at P3.25 for the year, giving investors a 10 percent yield based on its Oct. 20 closing price of P34.00.
