Deccan Cements board has recommended a final dividend of Rs.0.50 per share (10% on face value of Rs.5) for FY 2025-26, pending shareholder approval at the 46th AGM. For the full year FY 2025-26, standalone revenue from operations stood at Rs.63,561.42 lakhs, up from Rs.52,697.72 lakhs in the previous year. Profit after tax (standalone) increased to Rs.2,859.12 lakhs from Rs.753.30 lakhs, aided by an exceptional gain of Rs.1,284.07 lakhs from land sale. EPS (standalone) for the year is Rs.20.41 versus Rs.5.38 in the prior year. The company also announced appointments of Cost Auditors and Internal Auditors for FY 2026-27.
The 10% dividend payout signals stable returns to shareholders. The substantial jump in PAT is partly due to one-time land sale gains. While the dividend is consistent with historical payouts, investors should note the one-off nature of this year's profitability boost when evaluating sustainability.
