Dates investors can track

The next concrete dates are November 16, 2026, for the ex-distribution session, and November 20, 2026, for the start of payment. Jumbo also retained its 2026 outlook for sales growth of 5 percent and net profit between EUR 310 million and EUR 320 million, according to Liberal.

Balance sheet supports distributions

Jumbo reported cash and equivalents above lease liabilities by EUR 485.65 million as of June 30, 2026, and the company continued to operate without bank debt, according to Liberal.

Jumbo stock remains tied to cash flow
