Mike Kozak's questions to Sprott Inc (SII) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Mike Kozak from Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. asked about Sprott's dividend policy, specifically if a special dividend would be considered given the strong cash flow from multiple metals performing well. He also inquired if Sprott would consider launching an ETF tracking the downstream nuclear fuel cycle, such as conversion and enrichment.
Answer
CEO Whitney George responded that shareholders generally prefer consistent dividend growth over special dividends, and the company will focus on its payout ratio, opportunistic share buybacks, and potential small acquisitions. Regarding a new nuclear ETF, CEO of Sprott Asset Management John Ciampaglia and Whitney George stated that while they are opportunistic, they are cautious about creating 'me-too' products and prefer to stay focused on their core strengths in metals and mining.
