AI summary

Metropolis Healthcare's Board declared a 2nd Interim Dividend of INR 1 per equity share (face value INR 2 each) for FY 2025-26. The record date is May 19, 2026, with payment within 30 days. This is notably lower than the 1st Interim Dividend of INR 4 per share (on pre-bonus shares) announced in November 2025, though post the 3:1 bonus issue (March 2026), the total payout amounts are similar at approximately INR 20.73 crore each. The company reported strong FY26 standalone profit after tax of INR 15,714.10 lakhs, up 26% from INR 12,434.31 lakhs in FY25.

Likely market impact

The reduced per-share dividend (from INR 4 to INR 1) may concern income-focused investors, though the total payout remained consistent due to the 4x increase in shares from the bonus issue. The strong profit growth supports continued shareholder returns.
