Shares of Bajaj Auto Ltd. will be of interest on Thursday, as the day marks the last session for investors to buy shares to qualify for receiving the dividend before the stock goes ex/record-date.
The record date determines the eligible shareholders who will receive the dividend payment. The ex-dividend date, which mostly coincides with the record date, marks when the share price adjusts to reflect the upcoming payout.
Bajaj Auto’s board announced a dividend of Rs 210 per share for financial year 2025. The record date to determine the shareholders eligible for the dividend payout has been fixed as June 20. The total value of the dividend to be disbursed amounts to around Rs 5,864 crore.
The dividend will be paid on or around Aug. 8 after shareholders’ approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Aug. 6 in Pune.
Given India’s T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased on the record date (June 20 in this case) will not be eligible for the dividend payment. Therefore, investors who own shares by June 19 will be the beneficiaries.
In comparison the company had issued a dividend of Rs 80 in financial year 2024, and a dividend of Rs 140 in fiscal 2023 and 2022.
Bajaj Auto’s standalone net profit rose nearly 6% year-on-year to Rs 2,049 crore in the three months ended March 31, 2025, on the back of revenue that also increased about 6% to Rs 12,148 crore.
Analysts polled by Bloomberg had estimated the topline at Rs 12,113.02 crore and the bottomline at Rs 2,013.12 crore.
Operating income, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, rose 6.3% year-on-year to Rs 2,451 crore. The Ebitda margin expanded 20 basis points to 20.2%.
