Shareholders of Ooredoo Q.P.S.C. officially approved a cash dividend of QR0.75 per share during the company’s Annual General Meeting on March 10, 2026. This 15% increase from the previous year’s payout follows a landmark fiscal 2025, where the group’s normalized net profit crossed the $1 billion threshold (approximately QR4 billion) for the first time. The decision aligns with the group’s updated progressive dividend policy, which has raised the target payout ratio to 50–70% of normalized net profit.
