Wacker Neuson Annual General Meeting Approves 17% Dividend Increase

Wacker Neuson SE held its Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2026, in Munich, where shareholders overwhelmingly approved all management proposals, including a dividend increase of approximately 17% to EUR 0.70 per eligible share, up from EUR 0.60 in the previous year. The meeting, conducted at the hbw Conference Center, also saw the election of Christian Rast to the Supervisory Board, replacing Prof. Dr. Matthias Schüppen, whose term ended with the close of the meeting.

The dividend resolution reflects the company’s commitment to shareholder compensation and its strategy to distribute a significant portion of profits. Dr. Karl Tragl, Chairman of the Executive Board, stated, ‘We are committing to a continuous shareholder compensation and offer our shareholders a reasonable share of the success of the fiscal year 2025. The dividend reflects the strategy of the Group, to continuously pay out a significant share of our profit.’

In addition to the dividend, shareholders formally approved the actions of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board for fiscal year 2025, as well as the remuneration report. The election of the auditor for fiscal year 2026 was also ratified. Notably, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation allowing for the issuance of electronic shares received the necessary majority, signaling a move toward digitalization in share management.

The new Supervisory Board member, Christian Rast, brings proven expertise in accounting and auditing, which will be valuable for the company’s financial oversight. His appointment comes as Wacker Neuson continues to navigate the construction equipment market with its broad portfolio of light and compact equipment.

Wacker Neuson Group, with around 5,800 employees worldwide, reported revenue of approximately EUR 2.2 billion in fiscal year 2025.
