U.S. stock futures slip lower on waning rate cut bets; Applied Materials falls
LONDON - Alliance Witan PLC (LSE:AWP) announced Wednesday a third interim dividend of 7.08 pence per share, representing a 5.2% increase from the 6.73 pence paid during the same period last year.
The dividend will be paid on December 31, 2025, to shareholders on the register as of November 28, 2025, with the ex-dividend date set for November 27, 2025.
The company’s board stated its intention, barring unforeseen circumstances, to make the fourth interim dividend at least equal to this payment. This would result in a total dividend for the 2025 financial year of at least 28.32 pence per share, a 6.1% increase over dividends paid for the year ended December 31, 2024.
If achieved, this would mark Alliance Witan’s 59th consecutive annual dividend increase, which the company described as one of the longest records of rising dividends in the investment trust industry.
The board also noted that this dividend progression fulfills a commitment made to former Witan shareholders to continue increasing their income from 2024.
The announcement was made in a regulatory filing to the London Stock Exchange.
