Enel will pay the Italians in January: here’s how much money will arrive

When we talk about large Italian companies capable of uniting industry, finance and daily life, Enel has always occupied a leading position. It is a constant presence in the homes of Italians, through the supply of energy, but also in the portfolios of hundreds of thousands of savers who over the years have chosen the group as a stable investment.

The electricity group in fact represents one of the classic examples of defensive investment, capable of offering continuity even in the most complex phases of the markets. Precisely this characteristic has contributed to making it a recurring choice for both institutional investors and the retail public, who often look at dividends as a source of periodic income rather than a pure speculative bet.

Enel ready to make Italians happy: how much money will come in

And it is precisely on the dividend front that news arrives that is destined to interest many Italians. On January 21, Enel will pay a dividend of 0.23 euros per share. An appointment awaited by those who hold the stock in their portfolio, because it once again confirms the group’s role as a pillar of the defensive performance of the Italian stock market.

For many savers this is a concrete income, perceived as a sort of periodic income linked to one of the most solid names on the national industrial scene.

The figure takes on even greater weight if we consider Enel’s shareholder base. With approx 640,000 shareholders in total, including retail and institutional investors, the group is the Italian company with the largest number of shareholders. A record that tells a lot about the relationship between Enel and widespread savings.

It is true that the share of Italian free float stands at around 7.1 percent and that the majority of investors come from North America, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, but a significant part of these shareholders is still Italian. In fact, Enel remains one of the most chosen securities by small savers in our country.

This means that a significant portion of the incoming dividend will end up directly in the hands of Italian families and investorsi, helping to strengthen the historical bond between the group and the territory. For those who own a large number of shares, the collection can become significant, while for those who hold small quantities it still represents a sign of continuity and reliability.

The distribution of the dividend also confirms Enel’s strategy, which aims to maintain a balance between investments, energy transition and shareholder remuneration. In an often uncertain market context, the ability to guarantee regular cash flows remains one of the elements most appreciated by investors.
