The industrial group Thyssenkrupp wants to pay a dividend of 15 cents per share for the first time in years after a profit in the billions in the past fiscal year. “Our momentum in the change process was slowed down, but we were able to withstand three external shocks – pandemic, semiconductor shortage and war – relatively robustly,” said CEO Martina Merz. Most recently, the traditional group paid a dividend of 15 cents per share for the 2017/18 financial year. Thanks to strong results in the steel division and in the materials trading business, Thyssenkrupp was able to almost triple its operating result in the past fiscal year.
