Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Hikal Limited's board approved audited financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, with an unmodified auditor opinion. Standalone FY25 revenue grew to Rs. 18,648 million (up 4.3% from Rs. 17,871 million), while profit after tax rose to Rs. 905 million (up 30% from Rs. 695 million), pushing EPS to Rs. 7.37 from Rs. 5.64. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.80 per share, taking the total FY25 dividend to Rs. 1.40 per share (70%), up from Rs. 1.20 (60%) in the previous year. Additionally, Mr. Sameer Hiremath was redesignated from Managing Director to Vice Chairman & Managing Director, and new secretarial and cost auditors were appointed.
A higher total dividend and ~30% growth in FY25 earnings are positive for shareholders. However, the stock historically trades at levels that put dividend yield well below 3%, so the cash payout is modest relative to market price. The pending environmental case at the Supreme Court remains a key overhang to monitor.
