Kuantum Papers Ltd Board approved FY2025-26 audited results with net profit of Rs 41.95 crore, down significantly from Rs 115.18 crore in FY2024-25. Revenue from operations stood at Rs 1,085.21 crore. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs 2.50 per share (250% on face value of Re. 1) amounting to Rs 21.82 crore, subject to shareholder approval at the 29th AGM scheduled for August 27, 2026. Register of members will be closed from August 21-27, 2026, with August 20, 2026 as the record date for dividend entitlement. The Board also re-appointed Pavan Khaitan as Vice Chairman & Managing Director for 3 years from April 1, 2027, and recommended re-appointment of Jagesh Kumar Khaitan as director retiring by rotation. EPS for the year is Rs 4.81 compared to Rs 13.20 in the previous year.
The 63% decline in net profit is concerning but the company is maintaining dividend payout at 52% of current profits, which signals management confidence. The record date of August 20, 2026 gives investors a clear timeline to qualify for the dividend.
