S Chand And Company Limited reported its Q4 and full year FY26 financial results alongside declaring an interim dividend of Rs. 4 per equity share (80% on face value of Rs. 5). Standalone revenue remained flat at Rs. 2,930.58 million, but profit after tax declined 28% to Rs. 112.52 million from Rs. 157.37 million in FY25 due to exceptional items. However, consolidated profit after tax grew 21% to Rs. 731.36 million, driven by strong subsidiary performance with consolidated revenue rising 11% to Rs. 7,987.46 million. The record date for dividend entitlement is May 29, 2026. The board also approved a Rs. 20 crore corporate guarantee for its wholly-owned subsidiary New Saraswati House (India) Private Limited for a bank credit facility.
The interim dividend provides direct cash returns to shareholders. Consolidated profitability improved year-on-year despite standalone profit decline, suggesting the group's diversified publishing and education business portfolio is performing well.
