nline delivery giant talabat will pay out USD 202 million in cash to its shareholders after reporting strong profits in the first half of 2025. The payout works out to 3.188 fils per share, equal to 90% of its earnings for the period.
For fleets and operators watching the logistics sector, the move shows how asset-light, tech-driven business models can generate consistent cash flow and still leave room for growth investment. Talabat says it expects to return at least USD 400 million to investors for the full year—while also expanding services and technology across the region.
“Our robust cash generation enables us to share profits with investors while keeping the flexibility to grow,” said Tomaso Rodriguez, CEO of talabat.
The dividend offers an annual yield of more than 5.4%, showing investors steady returns from the fast-growing e-commerce and delivery sector.
Talabat’s strong financial performance underlines the scale and profitability of logistics platforms—a space fleets increasingly interact with as delivery and last-mile services reshape transport. By sticking to a 90% payout policy, the company is signalling confidence in its future earnings.
For fleet readers, the announcement shows how major logistics-tech operators like talabat are not only growing service capacity but also proving to be stable, profitable businesses that drive investment back into the wider transport ecosystem.
