Guzman y Gomez (ASX:GYG) trades ex-dividend on 15 September 2026 following the release of its FY2026 results in August. The restaurant group declared a fully franked final Dividend of 40.6 cents per share after reporting higher network sales and underlying Earnings from its continuing operations.

FY2026 also included the completion of GYG’s exit from the United States, continued expansion of its Australian restaurant network and approval of an additional on-market share buy-back.

Final Dividend

Guzman y Gomez declared a fully franked FY2026 final dividend of 40.6 cents per share.

The distribution comprises an ordinary dividend of 26.2 cents per share and a Special Dividend of 14.4 cents per share. Together with the 7.4-cent interim dividend, total dividends for FY2026 amount to 48.0 cents per share.

With GYG trading ex-dividend from 15 September 2026, shares purchased from the ex-dividend date do not carry an entitlement to the declared final distribution.

An ex-dividend date reflects the timetable for determining dividend entitlements and does not represent a change to the company’s underlying operating performance.
