Cera Sanitaryware's Board recommended a dividend of Rs. 75 per equity share (1500% on face value of Rs. 5) for FY2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the 28th AGM on 23rd July 2026. The record date is 7th July 2026. For the year ended 31 March 2026, total income rose to Rs. 2,05,012 lakh (up ~13.6% YoY), with net profit after tax at Rs. 20,419 lakh — slightly lower than Rs. 24,648 lakh in FY2024-25, partly due to a reversal of Rs. 1,065.29 lakh excess labour code provision. EPS for the year stands at Rs. 158.31. The company also divested its two subsidiary LLPs (Packcart and Race) in September 2025, and now operates only on a standalone basis. Cash flow from operations was strong at Rs. 21,189 lakh.
The high 1500% dividend signals confidence in the company's cash generation, and the 23% dip in net profit versus the prior year may prompt some near-term caution, but the healthy operating cash flow supports the payout and bodes well for income-focused investors.
