Refex Industries Limited (NSE: REFEX) convened a board meeting on July 29, 2026, approving the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, of Financial Year 2026-27. The announcement, filed with the NSE at 12:41 PM, marks the company's first quarterly earnings disclosure of the current fiscal year.

Dividend Details and Recent Payout History

While the Q1 FY27 results do not carry a fresh dividend declaration, investors should note the dividend approved just two months prior. The board, at its meeting on May 26, 2026, recommended a final dividend of ₹1 per equity share of face value ₹2 each, representing a payout rate of 50% on face value, for the full Financial Year 2025-26.

Prior to that, the company had declared a 1st Interim Dividend for FY25-26 on August 12, 2025, the exact per-share quantum of which was not detailed in the exchange filing text. For FY2023-24, the board had declared an interim dividend of ₹0.50 per equity share (5% on face value), announced on February 8, 2024. Going further back, the company declared an interim dividend of ₹1 per equity share in December 2020.

Dividend Trend Analysis

The dividend history of Refex Industries reveals an inconsistent but gradually improving payout pattern:

The return to a ₹1 per share final dividend in FY26 mirrors the quantum last seen in December 2020, and represents a doubling compared to the ₹0.50 per share declared for FY24, suggesting a meaningful improvement in the company's distributable surplus and board confidence in earnings visibility.
