According to reports from ET Now, J K Cement has recommended a final dividend of ₹30 per fully paid-up equity share of ₹10 each for the financial year 2025-26. The dividend recommendation is subject to approval by shareholders at the company's 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM). The final dividend, if declared, will be paid within 30 days of the AGM date. As per the latest regulatory compliance, the company has formally communicated this information to the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. in compliance with Regulation 42 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
As reported by multiple sources, J K Cement reported mixed quarterly results for Q4 FY26. The company posted a net profit of ₹173.61 crore during the December quarter, representing an 8.56% decline compared to the same period last year. However, the company showed strong revenue growth with revenue increasing 9% year-on-year to ₹2,831 crore in Q4 FY26 versus ₹2,585 crore in Q4 FY25. The company's EBITDA stood at ₹934 crore in Q4 FY26 versus ₹886 crore in Q4 FY25, showing a 5.4% increase, though EBITDA margin compressed to 33% from 34.3% in the previous year.
According to the latest regulatory filing, J K Cement has fixed May 29, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the final dividend for FY26. As per the company's announcement, the record date is crucial for investors as it establishes the cutoff for determining which shareholders are registered on the company's books and thus eligible to receive the dividend payout. Only those shareholders holding the equity shares in their demat accounts on this specific date will qualify for the benefit, should the board declare the dividend. The company has requested the stock exchange to take this information on record and display it on their official website to ensure all investors are informed about the corporate action.
As reported by ET Now, the dividend declaration covers the financial year 2025-26, indicating the company's commitment to returning value to shareholders. The ₹30 per share dividend represents a significant payout for shareholders of J K Cement, reflecting the company's strong financial performance during the fiscal year. The company's Q4 results demonstrate resilience despite profit decline, with revenue growth and improved operational metrics supporting the dividend recommendation. The record date compliance ensures transparency and proper execution of the dividend distribution process.
The dividend announcement comes amid broader market developments, with UltraTech Cement also declaring a special dividend of ₹240 per equity share for FY26, subject to shareholder approval. This context highlights the strong dividend culture across the cement sector and reflects companies' commitment to returning value to shareholders through consistent dividend payments. The timing aligns with the ongoing Q4 FY26 earnings season where over 75 companies are announcing their results, including J K Cement among other major corporations. The regulatory compliance demonstrates the company's adherence to SEBI guidelines for corporate action disclosures.
