Big News for Bottlers Nepal Shareholders: No Dividend Payout This Year
Bottlers Nepal Limited and Bottlers Nepal (Terai) Limited have jointly announced a significant decision that will impact their investors. The Board of Directors of both companies have decided to withhold dividend payouts for the fiscal year 2081/82. This news comes following separate board meetings held on November 26, 2025.
This decision, officially communicated under the Securities Registration and Issue Regulation, 2016, and the Securities Enlisting Bylaws, 2019, signals a strategic shift for the beverage giants. Shareholders will be keen to understand the reasoning behind this move.
The companies state that foregoing dividends for the fiscal year ending July 16, 2025 (Ashad 32, 2082), is in the best long-term interest of both the companies and their shareholders. This suggests a focus on bolstering financial stability, reinvesting in essential business operations, and preparing the companies for sustained growth in the competitive market. This strategic reinvestment aims to maximize long term stock value.
Important for current investors, the book closure date is Poush 11. Therefore, only shareholders listed up to that date are eligible to attend the AGM and would have been entitled to any dividend payout. The latest financial news will undoubtedly influence stock prices, so investors should follow market developments closely. This decision by Bottlers Nepal raises questions about the future investment strategy of the companies.
