Dividend Track Record and Recent Payout

The face value of equity shares is ₹10 per share, placing the January 2025 interim payout at an effective rate of 22.5% on face value.
With live quote data currently unavailable for BANARBEADS, a precise trailing dividend yield cannot be calculated at this time. Investors should cross-reference the ₹2.25 per share annualised dividend figure against the current market price to derive the applicable yield before making any assessment.
Long-Term Dividend History and Trend Analysis
Banaras Beads has maintained an intermittent but largely consistent dividend distribution record spanning over a decade. Key data points from the NSE filing history are as follows:
- January 2025: Interim dividend of ₹2.25 per share (22.5% on face value)
- January 2024: Interim dividend of ₹2.00 per share (20% on face value)
- January 2023: Interim dividend of ₹2.00 per share (20% on face value)
- October 2021: Interim dividend of ₹2.00 per share (20% on face value)
- May 2017: Final dividend of ₹1.00 per share (10% on face value) for FY2016-17
- March 2016: Interim dividend of ₹2.50 per share (25% on face value) for FY2015-16
- May 2015: Final dividend of ₹1.00 per share (10% on face value) for FY2014-15
- May 2014: Final dividend of ₹2.00 per share (20% on face value) for FY2013-14
- January 2013: Interim dividend of ₹2.50 per share (25% on face value) for FY2012-13
- June 2012: Final dividend of ₹1.50 per share (15% on face value) for FY2011-12
The data indicates a notable gap in dividend distributions between FY2017-18 and FY2021-22, after which the company resumed consistent interim payouts in January of each subsequent year. The incremental step up from ₹2.00 in January 2024 to ₹2.25 in January 2025 suggests a measured upward revision in shareholder return policy, continuing through three consecutive years of interim distributions at or above the ₹2.00 level.

What This Means for Investors
The Q1 FY27 results filing signals the commencement of the quarterly reporting cycle for the current financial year. Investors tracking BANARBEADS should note that the company has demonstrated a pattern of declaring interim dividends in the January quarter over the past several fiscal years. Whether a similar declaration accompanies or follows the Q2 FY27 results will be a key data point to monitor. The absence of current market price, PE ratio, delivery percentage, and 52-week range data in available exchange feeds limits a complete valuation assessment at this stage. Investors are advised to source live trading data directly from NSE before drawing conclusions on yield or valuation metrics relative to sector peers.
