Mold-Tek Packaging Limited declared an interim dividend of ₹2 per equity share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as approved by the board on April 20, 2026. The company subsequently submitted its financial results for the full period ended March 31, 2026, to the NSE on May 11, 2026, completing the earnings disclosure cycle for FY26.
Dividend Details and Yield
The interim dividend of ₹2 per share translates to a dividend yield of approximately 0.34% at the current market price of ₹581.15. The stock trades on a face value of ₹5 per share, making this payout equivalent to 40% of face value. Shareholders on the record date will be eligible for this disbursement.
Dividend History and Trend Analysis
A review of Mold-Tek Packaging's dividend history over the past several years reveals a notable moderation in total annual payouts compared to earlier periods:
- FY26 (so far): ₹2 interim declared April 2026; ₹2 final declared July 2025, totalling ₹4 per share for FY25 on a combined basis
- FY25: ₹2 interim (April 2025) plus ₹2 final (August 2024) equalling ₹4 per share
- FY24: ₹2 interim (April 2024) plus ₹1 final (August 2024) equalling ₹3 per share
- FY23: ₹4 interim declared April 2023
- FY22: ₹6 per share declared April 2022
- FY21: ₹3 interim declared March 2021
- FY20: ₹5 interim declared March 2020
- FY19: Total of ₹4 per share (₹2 interim plus ₹2 final)
The data indicates that total annual dividends peaked at ₹6 per share in FY22 and have since moderated to the ₹3 to ₹4 range, suggesting the company is conserving more capital even as it continues regular payouts. The consistency of the ₹2 interim announcement in the April window for three consecutive years (FY24, FY25, FY26) points to a structured interim dividend policy.
