KKOYY Kesko Oyj — dividend yield, history & ex-dividend dates
Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Kesko Oyj is a Finnish conglomerate established in 1940, primarily known for its extensive involvement in the domestic grocery trade. Its operations are strategically divided into three core business units: Grocery Trade, Building and Technical Trade, and Car Trade. The Grocery Trade division handles the wholesale and business-to-business (B2B) supply of foodstuffs, complementing this with the retail sale of home essentials and specialty goods. This widespread network comprises roughly 1,200 K-food retail locations, featuring popular banners such as K-Citymarket, K-Supermarket, K-Market, and Neste K. Kesko's Building and Technical Trade segment focuses on the retail, wholesale, and B2B distribution of construction materials, home renovation products, electrical components, and HEPAC (heating, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning) systems. Additionally, it engages in the sale of leisure goods. This segment's geographical reach extends across Finland, Sweden, Norway, and the Baltic countries, operating retail chains like K-Rauta, K-Bygg, Byggmakker, and Onninen for its building and technical offerings, alongside Intersport and Budget Sport for leisure merchandise. Operating solely within Finland, the Car Trade segment serves as an importer, marketer, and retailer for various passenger vehicle brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, CUPRA, Bentley, and Porsche, as well as commercial vehicles from Volkswagen and MAN. This division further provides vehicle leasing solutions, comprehensive repair and maintenance services, supplies spare parts and accessories, and manages the K-Charge electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout Finland.

85.70%
12 months to Jun 30, 2026 (Q2 FY2026)
The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.Years Paying
