Singtel Dividend Payout Date 2025: Ex-Date, Record & Payment

What is Singtel’s dividend for 2025?
Singtel’s FY2025 total ordinary dividend — covering both the final payout declared in May 2025 and the interim payout made in December 2024 — came to 17.0 Singapore cents per share, according to the company’s Annual Report 2025. That’s a 13% increase over FY2024’s 15.0 cents.
Core dividend vs value realisation dividend
The final dividend for FY2025, announced on 22 May 2025, is 10.0 cents per share. Singtel splits it into two parts: a core dividend of 6.7 cents funded by recurring operating cash flow, and a value realisation dividend (VRD) of 3.3 cents from asset monetisation, as detailed in the Singtel news release on FY2025 results. The VRD is a one-off distribution tied to proceeds from asset sales.
Total dividend per share for FY26
For FY2026 (the current financial year), Singtel has guided a final core dividend of 7.0 cents and a value realisation dividend of 1.8 cents per share, totalling 8.8 cents for the final payout, per the Singtel Investor Calendar. An interim VRD of 1.8 cents is expected in December 2025.
Retail investors get a higher total payout from the VRD, but that component is not guaranteed in future years — it depends entirely on Singtel’s ability to sell assets at attractive prices.
The pattern: Singtel’s dividend strategy relies on two distinct streams, one stable and one opportunistic.
When is the Singtel dividend payout date in 2025?
The three critical dates for the FY2025 final dividend are set. If you want to qualify, you must buy shares before the ex-dividend date.
Ex-dividend date: 31 July 2025
The ex-dividend date is 31 July 2025, according to Singtel’s Investor Calendar. Anyone who buys shares on or after this date will not receive the upcoming final dividend — the seller keeps it.
Record date: 1 August 2025
The record date is 1 August 2025, as confirmed by the same source. This is the cut-off for Singtel to determine which shareholders are on the books and eligible for the payout.
Payment date: 19 August 2025
Shareholders will see the dividend credited on 19 August 2025. The payment date is also listed on the Singtel Investor Calendar and cross-checked by market aggregators like dividends.sg. Bank processing times may add one business day for CDP accounts.
“The FY2025 final dividend of 10.0 Singapore cents per share comprises a core dividend of 6.7 cents and a value realisation dividend of 3.3 cents.”
— Singtel news release, 22 May 2025 (Singtel News Release)
The timeline is fixed for the current payout, but future dates depend on board decisions.
Is Singtel’s dividend sustainable?
Singtel’s core dividend is funded by operating cash flow from its telecom and technology businesses. The VRD, by contrast, comes from one-off asset sales — for example, the monetisation of data centre assets and regional tower stakes.
Core dividend backed by operating cash flow
According to the Singtel Annual Report 2025, the FY2025 total core dividend of 12.3 cents was covered by underlying net profit. Analysts from Morningstar (equity research) noted in their coverage that the core payout ratio remains within a manageable range for a telecom operator with stable cash flows.
Value realisation dividend from asset sales
The VRD is explicitly labelled as non-recurring. Singtel’s board decides the amount each year based on completed asset monetisation programs. For FY2025, the VRD totalled 4.7 cents per share across interim and final payments. For FY2026, the final VRD is 1.8 cents, reflecting a lower level of expected asset sales.
Dividend payout ratio and coverage
Singtel states in its Investor Relations section that it maintains a sustainable dividend policy, targeting a core dividend that grows with earnings over time. The VRD is additive and does not affect the core dividend’s sustainability.
If asset sale proceeds dry up, the VRD could shrink or disappear entirely. Core dividend growth then depends on Singtel’s ability to boost operating profits in a competitive telecom market.
The implication: investors should evaluate the core dividend separately from the VRD when assessing long-term sustainability.
What is the dividend history of Singtel per share?
Singtel has paid dividends every year for decades. Here are the recent per-share figures from the dividends.sg tracker and the company’s reports.
Five fiscal years, one trend: the total dividend has risen each year since FY2021, driven by core growth and occasional VRD boosts.
| FY | Total dividend (cents) | Core (cents) | VRD / Special (cents) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 5.0 | 5.0 | 0 |
| 2022 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 0 |
| 2023 | 13.1 | 9.1 | 4.0 (special) |
| 2024 | 15.0 | 11.2 | 3.8 (VRD) |
| 2025 | 17.0 | 12.3 | 4.7 (VRD) |
The implication: Singtel has raised its core dividend each year since FY2022, while the VRD has added meaningful upside for shareholders.

What the company says
“The proposed final ordinary dividend of 10.0 Singapore cents per share brings the total ordinary dividend for FY2025 to 17.0 Singapore cents per share, an increase of 13% year-on-year.”

“The total ordinary dividend for FY2025 comprised a core dividend of 12.3 cents per share and a value realisation dividend of 4.7 cents per share.”
— Singtel Annual Report 2025, Singtel Annual Report 2025 (tier 1)

Bottom line: Singtel’s 2025 dividend offers a clear, reliable schedule with two distinct components. For income-focused investors in Singapore, the core dividend provides a stable base while the VRD acts as a performance bonus from asset monetisation. For traders watching the ex-dividend dates, the calendar is set — buy before 31 July for the final payout, and before 20 November for the interim VRD. For those holding through the record dates, the payment will land on 19 August and 9 December respectively. For investors, the VRD is not guaranteed long-term, so a conservative valuation should focus on the core dividend trajectory.

Dividends are credited directly to your CDP or brokerage account. For CDP shareholders, the payment appears on the payment date, usually by the end of the business day. Some brokers may take an extra day to process the credit.
Will Singtel pay a dividend in 2026?
Singtel has not yet announced specific figures for FY2027, but based on its dividend policy and consistent track record, a core dividend is expected. The VRD amount will depend on asset sales completed in FY2026.
