The approval of a significant dividend by Borouge, coupled with its strategic global expansion through Borouge===Borouge International and the Borouge 4 mega project, is expected to positively impact the petrochemicals market. Despite a temporary production suspension at its Ruwais facility, Borouge's strong financial resilience and rising polyolefins prices are mitigating short-term disruptions, suggesting continued value for shareholders.
Borouge shareholders approved a final 2025 dividend of $1.32 billion, bringing the total 2025 dividend to approximately $1.32 billion. This reflects the company's strong operational performance and record sales. Borouge has distributed $4.89 billion in dividends since listing, making it one of the largest payouts on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. The company is advancing its growth through Borouge===Borouge International, formed by combining Borouge and Borealis GmbH and acquiring NOVA Chemicals Corporation, aiming to be the world's leading pure-play polyolefins company. A tender offer in 2027 is planned to convert Borouge Plc shares to Borouge===Borouge International shares, subject to regulatory approval. Borouge also secured operational control and marketing rights for the Borouge 4 mega project, projected to generate $400 million in net profit over three years. Despite a temporary production suspension at its Ruwais facility due to an incident on April 5, Borouge maintains high utilization rates and strong financial resilience, benefiting from a global shortage and rising prices of polyolefins.
