The machinery factory Berthold Hermle AG announced on April 29, 2025, a new dividend proposal of €11.05 per preferred share. This decision emphasizes the financial stability of the company and is specifically aimed at holders of preferred shares, who generally receive higher dividends than common stockholders.
Historical Context and Comparison

- 2021: €9.05 (Yield: 3.74%)
