Moonpig Group Plc (MOON.L), an online greeting card and gifting platform, reported Thursday sharp drop in fiscal 2025 profit before tax, while it slipped to a loss on after tax basis, despite higher revenues from last year.
Further, the Board is recommending a final dividend of 2.0 pence, which would result in total dividends for FY25 of 3.0 pence, while no dividends were paid in fiscal 2024.
If approved at the 2025 AGM, the dividend will be paid on November 20 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on October 24.
