TV Today Network Limited (NSE: TVTODAY) submitted its financial results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026, to the exchange on May 15, 2026, following a board meeting held the same day. The announcement marks the conclusion of another earnings cycle for the India Today Group's broadcast arm, which operates news channels including Aaj Tak and India Today TV.
Dividend History and Payout Trend
The board has not yet announced a dividend for FY26 alongside the results. However, the company's dividend history reveals a discernible pattern. Over the past three fiscal years, TV Today Network has recommended a final dividend of ₹3 per equity share consistently, doing so in May 2025 for FY25, May 2023 for FY23, and August 2022 for FY22. Prior to this, the company declared an exceptional interim dividend of ₹67 per equity share in February 2023 and an interim dividend of ₹20 per equity share in October 2019, both of which were one-time in nature and not repeated in subsequent years.
- FY25 Final Dividend: ₹3 per share (declared May 22, 2025)
- FY23 Final Dividend: ₹3 per share (declared May 16, 2023)
- FY23 Interim Dividend: ₹67 per share (declared February 3, 2023)
- FY22 Final Dividend: ₹3 per share (declared August 3, 2022)
- FY22 Dividend: ₹3 per share (declared May 12, 2022)
- FY21 Final Dividend: ₹2.50 per share (declared May 28, 2021)
- FY20 Final Dividend: ₹2.25 per share (declared May 14, 2020)
If the company maintains its recent pattern and declares a final dividend of ₹3 per share for FY26, the dividend yield at the current market price of ₹115.55 would stand at approximately 2.60%, which is meaningful given the stock's current valuation context.
Valuation and Market Context
TV Today Network currently trades at a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 69.53x, a figure that stands sharply elevated against the sector PE of 0.94x. This divergence signals that the stock is priced at a significant premium relative to its broader media sector peers, and investors tracking earnings quality will be watching the FY26 result details closely for justification of this multiple.
The stock closed at ₹115.55 on the day of the announcement, reflecting a gain of ₹1.12 or 0.98% for the session. The 52-week high of ₹184.80 was recorded on May 22, 2025, which coincided with the prior year's final dividend announcement, while the 52-week low of ₹93.50 was recorded on March 23, 2026. The current price sits approximately 37.5% below the 52-week high and about 23.6% above the 52-week low, placing the stock in the lower half of its annual trading range.
Trading Activity and Delivery Data
On the day of the results announcement, TVTODAY recorded a trading volume of 83,838 shares with a delivery percentage of 41.16%. A delivery percentage above 40% is generally considered indicative of positional interest rather than purely intraday activity, suggesting a segment of buyers on this session intended to hold their positions. Daily volatility stands at 1.94%.
