United Capital Plc has announced a stellar performance for the 2025 financial year, with its Profit After Tax (PAT) surging by 16.5% to reach N28.15 billion.
In a corporate action released on Monday, the investment banking group proposed a final dividend of 70 kobo per share, amounting to a total final payout of N12.6 billion for its shareholders.
The group’s gross earnings for the year climbed to N58.55 billion, up from N43.43 billion in 2024.
This growth was driven by a massive expansion in fee-based income and significant fair-value gains on financial assets, which rose to N16.44 billion.
When combined with the interim dividend of 30 kobo paid mid-year, the total dividend for the 2025 financial year stands at N1.00 per share, representing a total distribution of N18 billion to investors.
The register of members is scheduled to close on April 7, 2026, to determine eligibility for the final dividend.
Shareholders who have completed their e-dividend registration can expect electronic payments on April 24, 2026.
This performance marks another milestone for the firm as it continues to leverage its diversified business model to deliver value amidst a shifting macroeconomic landscape.
