Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD) board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 5.40 per share (270% on a face value of Rs 2) for FY2025-26, up from Rs 3.60 per share in the prior year — a 50% increase. The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the 18th AGM on July 6, 2026. Record date is June 26, 2026. Full-year standalone profit after tax grew to Rs 268.33 crore vs Rs 200.13 crore in FY2024-25, and standalone revenue from operations was Rs 7,509.83 crore. The company also obtained a stay on 90% of a Rs 351.23 crore Income Tax demand, with the revised demand at Rs 260.75 lakh (plus interest) being personally funded by the Promoter Chairman under an undertaking. Separately, the board approved a fund-raising plan of up to Rs 1,000 crore via equity/preference shares or convertible securities.
A 50% jump in dividend signals strong financial health and cash generation, which is positive for shareholder returns. Combined with a planned Rs 1,000 crore capital raise, existing shareholders may see some dilution, but the dividend growth is encouraging.
