    Frequently Asked Questions

    CSL originally floated in 1994 at $2.30 per share. However, taking into account share buybacks, the adjusted entry price is equivalent to around 76 cents. 

    CSL has paid twice yearly dividends every year since late 1997, a little over three years after the company’s initial listing on the ASX. Up until early 2005, CSL’s dividends were all fully franked. Since then, franking credits have been intermittent.

    In the period since April 2012, CSL has paid unfranked dividend payments to shareholders annually in April and October, with the exception of a 10% franked final dividend payment made in September 2021.

    CSL has a dividend reinvestment plan, however, it has not been active since 2004. Instead, CSL periodically executes share buybacks as a way of delivering additional returns for shareholders.
