Is GEA a good dividend stock? Does its cash cover the dividend?
Our report makes no buy or sell call. It checks the dividend against free cash flow, the cash the business has left after paying for buildings and equipment.
A project dollar becomes sales as GEA delivers equipment and performs installation work. Cash then pays engineers, factory workers, suppliers, subcontractors and capital spending. In 2025, the company’s own free cash flow was €511.8 million, while dividends and buybacks returned €307.3 million to shareholders.
Cash from operations was €731.8 million in 2025. After capital spending, lease payments and interest, the stricter free-cash-flow measure was €383.8 million; deducting stock compensation gives €374.7 million. GEA’s own free-cash-flow measure was €511.8 million because it uses a different scope and includes items such as asset-disposal proceeds.

GEA dividend forecast: how much will it pay by 2029?
The forecast moves toward the bear case during 2027 and 2028 if customer delays reduce order replenishment and backlog conversion. Through 2029, project cost pressure, weaker mix or installation problems would lower operating profit and cash conversion. From 2028 onward, falling earnings expectations could compress the multiple, especially if cash weakness reduces buyback support.
What is GEA's dividend yield against its share price?
Cash flow provides a more grounded test. Free-cash-flow yield compares cash generation with the share value; dividend yield compares the dividend with that value. GEA generated €511.8 million of free cash flow in 2025, helped by lower working capital, while working capital absorbed cash in the first nine months of 2026.
How much does GEA pay per share?
Dividends rise moderately in the base case. They start at €1.40 and reach €1.50. The final-year assumption is €1.60. The bear case holds the dividend at €1.30 before cutting it to €1.20. The bull case starts at €1.50 and reaches €2.00. This reflects a five-year increase from €0.90 to €1.30, but also the competition for cash from investment and buybacks.
