Godfrey Phillips India reported strong FY26 results with standalone profit rising 44.5% to Rs.1,507 crore on revenues of Rs.9,119 crore. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs.33 per share (1,650% on Rs.2 face value) for FY26, following an earlier interim dividend of Rs.17 per share, bringing total annual dividend to Rs.50 per share. The company also noted a significant tax change where the government revised GST and excise duty structure for cigarettes effective Feb 2026. Additionally, the company filed an insurance claim of Rs.284 crore for a fire at a third-party tobacco processing plant in Andhra Pradesh in October 2025.
The recommendation of Rs.50 total annual dividend reflects strong cash generation and indicates shareholder-friendly policies. The 44% profit growth is positive for the stock, though investors should note the GST/excise duty restructuring impact on comparable revenue figures and the pending insurance claim.
