GW Finance: Profits Up & Dividend Payout Ahead
Games Workshop is experiencing some good growth trends and it’s paying off for investors.
2017/2018 is shaping up to be a pretty good year for Games Workshop on the finance side of things. Last month we got a look at their 2017-2018 Half-Year Financials and things were looking up. On the heels of that announcement comes another one from their investor relations – it’s dividend time!

Trading update and dividend
Following on from the Group’s update on 9 January 2018, the good growth trends have continued to the end of January. Sales and, given the high operational gearing of the business, profits for 2017/18 to date are therefore slightly above expectations.
Games Workshop also announces that the Board has today declared a dividend of 35 pence per share. This will be paid on 23 March 2018 for shareholders on the register at 16 February 2018, with an ex-dividend date of 15 February 2018. The last date for elections for the dividend re-investment plan is 2 March 2018.
