Borouge Plc was added to the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index, an index introduced by Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in December 2025.
The FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index is the first income-based index of its kind within the region and is created to showcase companies with a consistent track record of dividend distribution.
The index includes 17 companies that in total paid over 70 per cent of the total cash dividends paid by the ADX-listed companies in 2025, which substantiates its applicability as a long-term income dividend-based benchmark among investors.
Such inclusion is indicative of the capacity of Borouge to create strong cash flows throughout commodity cycles, which is attributed to its world-scale production platform as well as long-term demand in all its key markets in the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
These principles support the ability of Borouge to achieve stable, through-the-cycle earnings and maintain an attractive, forward-visible dividend profile.
Chief Executive Officer of Borouge, Hazeem Sultan Al Suwaidi, said that “Borouge’s inclusion in the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index reinforces our position as one of the region’s leading income stocks and reflects the strength and resilience of our business model.”
He stated that “Our focus on operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation enables us to deliver consistent and reliable returns for shareholders.”
Borouge reiterated its FY2025 dividend promise of 16.2 fils per share, which is destined to be sustained by Borouge Group International, upon launch, up to at least 2030, subject to relevant approvals.
Therefore, the target structure will cover the upside potential of a targeted payout ratio of up to 90 percent of net profit. Borouge has strong industry-leading EBITDA margins, a robust balance sheet, and a long-term and focused strategy to sustain consistent and sustainable shareholder returns.
