Borouge, a leading petrochemicals company known for its innovative polyolefins solutions, has been added to the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index, which was launched by the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in December 2025.
The FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index is the first income-focused index of its kind in the region and is designed to highlight companies with consistent track record of dividend distribution.
The index comprises 17 companies that collectively represented more than 70 percent of total cash dividends paid by ADX-listed companies in 2025, reinforcing its relevance as a benchmark for long-term, income-oriented investors.
Borouge’s inclusion in the FTSE ADX Dividend Stars Index reflects the Company’s ability to generate resilient cash flows across commodity cycles, supported by its world-scale production platform and sustained demand across its core markets in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. These fundamentals underpin Borouge’s capacity to deliver stable, through-the-cycle earnings and maintain an attractive, forward-visible dividend profile.
Borouge has affirmed its intention to distribute a dividend of 16.2 fils per share for financial year 2025, with the expectation that this payout level will be sustained by Borouge Group International, once launched, through at least 2030, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
The company’s dividend policy also includes potential for upside, with a targeted payout ratio of up to 90 percent of net profit, further reinforcing its commitment to delivering stable and attractive returns to shareholders over the long term.
