Max Stock Limited Declares Significant Cash Dividend for Shareholders

Max Stock Limited Declares Cash Dividend of ILS 40 Million

Max Stock Limited, a leading retailer in Israel, recently made headlines by announcing a substantial cash dividend aimed at rewarding its shareholders. The company, listed under TASE: MAXO, has officially declared a cash dividend of ILS 0.2865976 per share, totaling ILS 40 million. This announcement was made public on August 14, 2025, following the approval from the company's board of directors on August 13.

The dividend is scheduled for distribution on September 9, 2025, with the record date set for August 21, 2025. This means that shareholders who hold shares of Max Stock Limited by this date will be eligible for the dividend payment. The decision to declare this dividend is especially significant as it stems from the company’s healthy financial position, as demonstrated in its recent financial disclosures. As of June 30, 2025, Max Stock reported distributable profits amounting to ILS 159,073,000, which contributed to the decision to distribute a portion of these profits to shareholders.

In line with Israel’s regulatory framework, specifically under Section 302 of the Israel Companies Law, the board performed necessary profit and solvency tests prior to declaring the dividend. This process ensures that the company can maintain its financial stability while rewarding its shareholders.

Notably, this dividend has tax implications for shareholders, as 100% of it is recognized as deriving from revenues generated by an Israeli resident company, thus subject to Israeli corporate tax regulations. This means shareholders will need to consider the tax impact on their earnings from this dividend.

Max Stock’s dividend distribution is expected to enhance shareholder confidence and reflects the company’s promising operational performance. The retailer, renowned for offering extreme value across its 64 store locations in Israel, prides itself on providing quality products at affordable prices. The tagline, "Dream Big, Pay Small," exemplifies the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction and value.

The announcement also holds operational significance for the company’s employees. The exercise price for the options issued to employees and officers as part of the company’s option plan will be adjusted according to the distribution mechanism outlined in the plan following the dividend payout. This measure ensures that employee stock options remain beneficial and aligned with the company’s performance, incentivizing employees and promoting long-term commitment to the company’s success.

As Max Stock continues to expand its footprint in the Israeli market, updates like this dividend declaration underline the firm's dedication to creating shareholder value while sustaining operational growth and stability. The upcoming dividend payment will not only serve as a financial benefit to shareholders but may also strengthen investor interest and market positioning as the company navigates future strategic initiatives.
