Shareholder payouts to hit $1.4 trillion in 2021, nearing pre-pandemic levels, research shows

Company payouts to shareholders are projected to hit $1.39 trillion in 2021, just 3% below their pre-pandemic peak, according to a new report from Janus Henderson.

In Asia-Pacific outside of Japan, headline dividend growth was 45% annually in the second quarter, buoyed by Samsung's one-off special dividend, with South Korea and Australia leading growth in the region. However, Singapore remained constrained by restrictions on banking payouts.

In emerging markets, however, dividends fell 3.2% annually on an underlying basis, pulled down by lower 2020 profits, while just 56% of emerging market companies raised or held dividends steady in the second quarter.Mining companies showed the fastest growth on the back of booming commodity prices, while industrials and consumer discretionary companies also bounced back strongly, the Janus Henderson research showed.
