On the reaction day the stock moved 0.5 pts more than Nifty 100 and 0.8 pts more than its Packaged Foods peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Nestle India Board declared a Special Dividend 2026 of Rs 2 per equity share (face value Re 1) on 1,92,83,14,320 shares, totalling about Rs 385.7 crore. The payout is funded from a balance amount of Rs 741 crore reclassified from General Reserve to Retained Earnings under an NCLT-sanctioned Scheme, not from current year profits. Payment begins 30 July 2026, alongside the regular final FY26 dividend. Record date is 10 July 2026. Final dividend amount is not stated in this filing.
Positive for shareholders; modest one-time dividend funded by reclassified reserves, separate from regular FY26 final dividend.
