🚨 PRESCO ₦10 DIVIDEND: IMPORTANT

Today, 14 August 2026, is PRESCO’s qualification date for its ₦10/share interim dividend.

But there’s a catch 👇

NGX now operates on T+1 settlement. This means a share bought today settles on the next business day — Monday, 17 August.

So, buying PRESCO shares today does NOT mean you will qualify for this dividend.

💰 Dividend: ₦10/share
📅 Qualification date: 14 Aug 2026
💵 Payment date: 27 Aug 2026

If you already held PRESCO shares before today, you’re the one to watch for this dividend.
