The Kerry Group share spinout has provided a window into the amount of wealth the multinational has created for the members of Kerry Co-op over the years. The share distribution occurred as part of deal for the co-op to takeover Kerry's Irish dairy processing business. Looking at the data, first reported by the Irish Farmers Journal online, there were almost 16.2m Kerry Group shares distributed among 11,736 shareholders of Kerry Co-op. With Kerry Group's share price hovering around the €100/share mark, that gives a total value of the distribution of more than €1.6bn. Analysis of the data and the distribution shows that more than €1.08bn of the shares released by Kerry Group found their way to Co Kerry. With 6,724 individual allocations in the county, that works out as more than €161,000 per shareholder. It's worth noting that the almost €1.1bn allocated to Co Kerry is more than the amount of money Kerry Group paid for all the milk supplied to it in 2023 and 2024.
