Banking equity analyst

Macro Bank announces a very large, highly structured cash dividend.

The filing shows Banco Macro S.A. distributing a substantial cash dividend of AR $138,956,468,470, restated to AR $147,101,261,954 in constant currency as of February 28, 2026. Payment is split into three equal monthly instalments of AR $49,033,753,984.66.

The first instalment equals AR $76.6882980676 per share, described as 7,668.8298% of stated capital stock of AR $639,390,301, highlighting how inflation has eroded nominal capital in Argentina. A 7% withholding tax applies, which reduces shareholders’ net receipts but does not change the gross distribution.

Key practical dates include the record date on May 18, 2026 and availability of the first payment on May 19, 2026. Holders of ADRs will receive their entitlement through The Bank of New York Mellon, so subsequent disclosures from the depositary may detail timing and any additional jurisdiction-specific costs.

cash dividend financial

"resolved the payment of a cash dividend in 3 monthly, equal and non-cumulative instalments"

A cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders directly in money, usually on a regular schedule. It is a way for investors to receive a portion of the company's profits, similar to earning interest or a bonus for holding the company's stock. Cash dividends provide income to shareholders and can indicate the company's financial health and stability.

record date financial

"Available as of 05/19/2026 Record date: 05/18/2026"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

withholding financial

"such amount is subject to a 7% withholding under section 97 of the Income Tax Law"

Income Tax Law regulatory

"subject to a 7% withholding under section 97 of the Income Tax Law as revised in 2019"

Income tax law is the set of government rules that determine how earnings—such as wages, business profits and investment returns—are measured and taxed. For investors, it matters because these rules change how much money companies and individuals keep after taxes, affecting corporate cash flow, dividend payouts, valuation and the real return on investments; think of it as the tolls a road system charges on every dollar earned.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) financial

"Shareholders holding American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) shall receive the relevant dividend"

American depositary receipts (ADRs) are certificates issued by a U.S. bank that represent ownership of shares in a foreign company, letting those shares trade on U.S. exchanges in U.S. dollars. Think of an ADR as a U.S. receipt for a foreign stock: it makes buying and selling simpler and subjects the investment to familiar U.S. trading rules, which matters to investors because it improves access and liquidity while still carrying risks like currency moves and different dividend handling.
