Dividends Declared in 2026: Egypt EGX Companies — Amounts & Payment Dates

Last updated: July 9, 2026 | Reading time: ~7 minutes

Egypt runs Africa's largest dividend machine by number of payers — the EGX has over 200 listed companies and a deep culture of annual cash distribution after the March–April AGM season. In 2026, the season's tracked heavyweights delivered on schedule: Commercial International Bank (CIB), the exchange's flagship blue chip, paid EGP 2.50 per share in May; Eastern Tobacco followed with a chunky EGP 11.50 in June; and real-estate giant Talaat Moustafa Group distributed EGP 0.80.

This tracker covers EGX-listed companies with declared 2026 dividend events in our Egypt dividend calendar. Amounts are in Egyptian pounds (EGP) per share, gross before withholding tax.

Quick summary:

• 3 tracked dividends declared and paid so far in 2026 — CIB, Eastern Tobacco and Talaat Moustafa Group, all FY2025 finals paid May–June.
• Eastern Tobacco's EGP 11.50 was the largest per-share payment of the tracked names (~4.2% at declaration).
• Egypt withholds 5% on dividends from EGX-listed companies (10% for unlisted) — deducted at source.
• EGX yields look lower than Sub-Saharan peers, but that is a valuation effect: Egyptian large caps trade at richer multiples after the market's strong post-devaluation run.
• Coverage updates as declarations arrive — many EGX payers distribute in tranches or declare later in the year.

## Dividends Declared and Paid in 2026

Yields at declaration: Eastern Tobacco ~4.2%, CIB ~3.1%, TMGH ~2.8%. Amounts are gross, before withholding.

## Company Notes

Commercial International Bank — EGP 2.50 final. CIB is the EGX's most institutionally owned stock and its most watched dividend. The EGP 2.50 per share for FY2025 — ex May 4, paid May 18 — came off another year of record earnings, with revenue growing double digits in 2025. CIB's yield (~3.1% at declaration) is modest by African banking standards, but that reflects the premium multiple investors pay for Egypt's best-capitalised private bank rather than a thin payout.

Eastern Tobacco — EGP 11.50 final. Egypt's tobacco monopolist is the classic EGX income stock: state-anchored, cash-generative, and a reliable heavy payer. The EGP 11.50 per share final (ex May 25, paid June 20) was the largest per-share distribution among the tracked 2026 payers, worth ~4.2% at declaration. Like tobacco names everywhere, Eastern pays out the bulk of what it earns.

Talaat Moustafa Group — EGP 0.80 final. Egypt's largest listed developer paid EGP 0.80 on June 15. TMGH's yield (~2.8%) is the lowest of the three — investors own it primarily for its enormous land bank and the growth of its hospitality arm, with the dividend as a sweetener rather than the thesis.

## What Stood Out This Season

The May–June payment corridor. All three tracked payers went ex within a three-week window (May 4–25) and paid within a five-week one. Egypt's dividend season is compressed around the spring AGM cycle — miss the May ex-dates and the wait for the next round is a full year for most names.

Yields compressed by a re-rated market. The EGX has been one of the world's better-performing exchanges since the 2024 devaluation reset, and strong price appreciation mechanically lowered declaration yields. The cash amounts themselves grew; the denominators grew faster.

Breadth beyond the trackers. Egypt has by far the deepest bench of dividend payers on the continent — banks, cement, chemicals, consumer staples — many of which pay in tranches across the year. Our calendar adds each as record and payment dates are confirmed.

## How Egypt's Dividend Tax Works

Egypt applies a 5% withholding tax on dividends distributed by EGX-listed companies to resident and non-resident shareholders — half the 10% rate charged on unlisted-company distributions. The tax is withheld at source. Non-residents should check whether a double-tax treaty with Egypt further affects their position.

The listed-company discount matters: on an Eastern Tobacco payment of EGP 11.50, the difference between 5% and 10% withholding is EGP 0.575 per share retained.

## How to Track EGX Dividends

Our Egypt dividend calendar tracks declared EGX dividends with ex-dates, record dates, payment dates, declaration yields and USD equivalents at official FX rates. The all-Africa tracker shows how Egypt's season compares continent-wide.

A note on coverage: this page reflects dividends verified in our calendar as of the update date. The EGX has hundreds of listed companies and many more 2026 distributions than the three tracked here — coverage expands as declarations are confirmed with dates.

## FAQ

Which EGX companies have paid dividends in 2026? Three tracked so far: CIB (EGP 2.50, paid May 18), Talaat Moustafa Group (EGP 0.80, paid June 15) and Eastern Tobacco (EGP 11.50, paid June 20).

What is the dividend withholding tax in Egypt? 5% for dividends from EGX-listed companies; 10% for unlisted companies. Deducted at source.

Why are EGX dividend yields lower than other African markets? Mostly valuation: Egyptian blue chips trade at higher multiples after several years of strong index performance, which compresses yield even as cash payouts grow.
