BASF on the Capital Market
In 2020, the stock markets were dominated by the spread of the coronavirus and the resulting social and economic effects.
Despite the exceptionally high economic burden caused by the coronavirus pandemic, a dividend of €3.30 per share is to be proposed to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, as in the previous year. Based on the year-end share price for 2020, BASF shares continue to offer an attractive dividend yield of around 5.1%.
