Zydus Wellness Approves Share Split, Announces ₹6 Dividend as Q4 Profit Jumps to ₹1.72 Billion

Zydus Wellness Ltd has made a series of shareholder-friendly actions along with its strong March-quarter performance. The board of the company has sanctioned the sub-division of equity shares from the face value of ₹10 per share to ₹2 per share with a view to enhance liquidity and ease of access for retail investors. Furthermore, Zydus Wellness announced a final dividend payment of ₹6 per share, evidencing its healthy cash flows as well as a determination to reward shareholders.

 

Share Sub-Division Approved:

The board has approved subdividing every share of equity ₹10 face value into five shares of ₹2 each. The step is likely to improve stock liquidity and price the shares low enough for a larger investor base to afford them, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

 

Dividend of ₹6 Per Share:

Zydus Wellness has announced a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share in FY25, a year-on-year increase from the previous fiscal's ₹5 per share. The dividend reflects the company's solid financial standing and maintaining a consistent record of shareholder returns.
