GMA declares P2.4-B dividend payout, surpassing profit in confident 75th-year move

GMA Network will reward P2.4 billion in cash dividends to shareholders this year—an amount that exceeds its 2024 net income but remains well-covered by its retained earnings.

Each shareholder will receive P0.50 per share, with payment set for May 20, 2025, to those on record as of April 29. 

“This move underscores the confidence of GMA Network’s board and management in the company’s strong financial fundamentals and its positive outlook for 2025,” GMA Network said in a stock exchange filing on Wednesday. 

“The declaration is consistent with the Network’s commitment to delivering long-term value to its shareholders while sustaining operational and fiscal resilience,” it added. 

Since going public in 2007, the network has consistently paid out around 90 percent of its profits as dividends, making it one of the market’s most reliable income stocks. 

Now in its 75th year, GMA is a leading Philippine broadcaster, reaching 93 percent of the total television audience in 2024.
