AKE likely dividend late 2023 or early 2024, page-8

Oh yes, I saw that Motley Fool article last year. It was based on Credit Suisse analysis and we all know where they are now!

"According to a recent note out of Credit Suisse, its analysts are not expecting dividends from Allkem in FY 2022. But in FY 2023, it is predicting a maiden dividend of 69 U.S. cents per share."

I wouldn't get too concerned over dividends. If they come out of the company to shareholders then they also come out of the share price. The only real benefit is probably the franking and associated tax benefits.
