Info Edge (India) Limited, the parent company of job portal Naukri.com, announced on May 22, 2026, that its board of directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹3.60 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The announcement was made alongside the approval of audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and the full year FY26, and also confirmed the date of the company's upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Total FY26 Dividend Payout

The ₹3.60 final dividend, when combined with two interim dividends of ₹2.40 each declared in November 2025 and February 2026, brings the total dividend payout for FY26 to ₹8.40 per equity share. The company shifted to a quarterly-style interim dividend structure this fiscal year, distributing ₹2.40 per share in two tranches before recommending the final tranche. At the current market price of ₹984.10, the total FY26 dividend translates to a dividend yield of approximately 0.85%.

Year-on-Year Comparison and Trend

The total FY26 payout of ₹8.40 per share marks a sharp decline from the ₹15.60 per share distributed in FY25, when the company declared an interim dividend of ₹12 per share in November 2024 followed by a final dividend of ₹3.60 in May 2025. Looking further back at the dividend history, FY24 also saw a total payout of ₹24 per share, combining a ₹12 interim with a ₹12 final. The trend clearly indicates a significant reduction in absolute per-share dividend payouts over the last two financial years.

Notably, the final dividend component has remained constant at ₹3.60 per share for both FY25 and FY26, suggesting the board has standardised this portion of the payout while reducing the interim component substantially from ₹12 in FY24 and FY25 to ₹4.80 in FY26.

Market Context and Valuation

The stock closed at ₹984.10 on May 22, 2026, registering a sharp gain of ₹57.85 or 6.25% on the day, likely reflecting investor response to the results announcement. The 52-week range for the stock stands at a low of ₹914.80 (touched on May 18, 2026) and a high of ₹1,550 (recorded on June 10, 2025), indicating the current price is trading near its 52-week bottom, having corrected approximately 36.5% from its annual peak. The current price of ₹984.10 being so close to the 52-week low of ₹914.80 suggests significant price compression over the past year.

On the valuation front, Info Edge trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 35.22, virtually in line with the sector PE of 35.20, indicating the stock is neither at a premium nor discount relative to its sector peers at current levels.

Delivery and Volume Data

Trading volumes on the announcement date stood at 8,22,157 shares, with a delivery percentage of 47.36%. A delivery percentage close to 50% on a high-movement day suggests a meaningful proportion of the buying interest was positional rather than purely intraday, pointing to some degree of conviction-based accumulation. The company's market capitalisation stands at ₹63,623.03 Cr, and it is a constituent of key indices including Nifty Midcap 50, Nifty 200, and Nifty India Internet, among others.

The final dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM. Investors should note the record date, once announced, to be eligible for the ₹3.60 per share payout on shares with a face value of ₹2 each.
