Despite trading significantly below fair value estimates, its dividend yield of 3.38% lags behind top-tier Dutch payers. Recent debt financing of approximately US$600 million enhances capital structure for strategic growth under the ‘Thrive 2030’ strategy but profit margins have declined from last year’s figures, impacting overall financial stability.

ENXTAM:AALB Dividend History as at Jul 2025
