to-the-point: Vestas not ruling out extra dividend, buyback - report

Danish wind turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS) could use part of its cash pile of EUR 1.7 billion (USD 1.9bn) for a share buyback or an extra dividend payment, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

In 2014 Vestas returned to profit and proposed its first dividend in 12 years. The company's chief executive, Anders Runevad, told the news provider in an interview that a strong balance sheet was important in the industry.

Runevad further said that major acquisitions were not in the company's current plans. The focus is on organic growth.
