Doosan Škoda Power dividend drives Prague stock surge

Doosan Škoda Power’s board proposed a gross dividend of 28 CZK per share for 2026, pending approval at the shareholders’ meeting on 25 June. The ex‑date is set for 3 July on the Prague exchange (8 July for RM‑SYSTÉM) and the payout is scheduled for 7 August. Following the announcement, Doosan Škoda Power shares surged more than 8 % to 433 CZK, their highest level since November of the previous year.

The rise helped the Prague PX index inch up 0.12 % to 2 583.73 points, with other major gainers including energy firm ČEZ, Erste Bank, and solar‑plant builder Photon Energy, which also rose about 8 %. The dividend proposal reflects the company’s policy of distributing a large share of earnings, having paid 9.76 CZK per share in the prior year, equivalent to roughly 77 % of net profit.

Investors received the dividend details through Komerční banka via cash‑free transfers to registered shareholders.
