The dividend

Balder’s goal is to generate the best long-term total yield for its shareholders. The assessment is that this is best achieved by reinvesting the profits in the business in order to create further growth.

The dividend will therefore remain low or will not be declared at all in the next few years. Balder will instead continue to grow by investing in existing properties, new construction and the acquisition of new properties.
