The dividend approval confirms a large capital return, but the in-kind distribution of IRSA shares reduces Cresud's stake in its subsidiary. Monitor the market's reaction to the partial deconsolidation of IRSA and any subsequent filings detailing the exact record and payment dates.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Cresud's shareholders approved a dividend distribution of up to ARS 116 billion, payable in cash (ARS 81.2 billion) and in kind (ARS 34.8 billion in IRSA shares). The in-kind portion distributes 15,097,614 IRSA shares, reducing Cresud's stake in its listed subsidiary. This follows the annual 20-F filing that flagged the proposed dividend, and the distribution represents a significant capital return to shareholders while also monetizing a portion of the IRSA holding.
