Even though industrial output deteriorated in May, it still manifests resilience, with leading indicators generally remaining robust. So far, there is limited evidence of any significant and sustained deterioration in industrial activity due to trade barriers. Although the decline in industrial output in May was broad-based, only the coming months will tell whether the tariffs are beginning to take a heavy toll on Czech industry. The foreign trade balance continues to demonstrate resilience. Although it narrowed in May, it continued to expand in seasonally adjusted terms, with exports falling less than imports. Construction recorded a significant increase in May, partially offsetting a weak April.

Kofola is ex-dividend today, Thursday, July 3,
2025. At the
general meeting, shareholders approved a payout of CZK21 per share.
However, the dividend payment will be reduced by an advanced dividend of
CZK7.50, which was distributed in October 2024. The difference
between the two, i.e. CZK13.50 per share, will be paid out. The total dividend corresponds to an almost 90%
payout of the previous year's adjusted net profit. The dividend of CZK13.50
offers a gross yield of 2.5% (the total dividend of CZK21 corresponds to a
yield of 3.9%). The record date is July 4, 2025.
With standard settlement (T+2), today is the first day that shareholders no
longer have the right to receive the CZK 13.50 dividend. The share price
usually falls by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date. Payments will start on August 11, 2025.
