At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 30 March 2022, the Board of Directors will propose an unchanged ordinary dividend of CHF 22 per share for the 2021 financial year. This is equivalent to a total dividend payout of CHF 1,140 million.

Swisscom has paid out a total of CHF 455 per share since the initial public offering. Together with the overall increase in share price of CHF 176 per share, this amounts to an average annual total return of 5.1%.
