Bharat Electronics Limited's Board, at its May 19, 2025 meeting, approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY25, and recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.90 per equity share (90% on Rs. 1 face value), subject to shareholder approval. This is in addition to an interim dividend of Rs. 1.50 per share already paid in March 2025, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 2.40 per share. Standalone FY25 revenue from operations stood at Rs. 23,658 crore with profit after tax of Rs. 5,288 crore, up from Rs. 5,289 crore in FY24. Standalone EPS rose to Rs. 7.23 from Rs. 5.50, while consolidated EPS came in at Rs. 7.28. The auditor's report noted nine vacancies of Independent Directors on the Board pending appointment by the Ministry of Defence.
The combined Rs. 2.40 total dividend for FY25 rewards shareholders, while the ~31% jump in standalone EPS signals strong earnings growth. However, the dividend yield remains modest given BEL's share price, and the prolonged absence of Independent Directors is a governance concern that could draw SEBI scrutiny.
