Wendel - CMD 2023: Focus on shareholder remuneration

Wendel hosts its CMD with an increased focus on shareholder remunerationIt aims for generating double-digit IRR on existing portfolio and 15% for future assetsGoal of recurring, predictable dividends with a new target of 2.5% of NAV for 2024 increasing up to 3.5% of NAV in the medium term.Based on last reported NAV of September, this would imply a FY24 dividend yield of >5%We believe the high dividend yield will definitely be a boost for the share price. Over the medium to long term, a fixed 3.5% dividend on NAV may result in lower NAV growth over time (less compounding effect)
