Page Industries announced a second interim dividend of ₹150 per share for FY27, but its shares fell sharply on the news.
Page Industries, India's licensee for Jockey and Speedo, declared a second interim dividend of ₹150 per share for fiscal year 2027. The record date is set for November 18, with payments due by December 11. Despite reporting a 4% rise in Q2 FY27 profit and an 11.5% annual revenue growth to ₹1,439 crore, the company's shares fell 12.19%, closing near their six-month low at ₹32,059.50 on November 12.
The dividend signals strong financial health but highlights investor concerns about margin pressures from rising input costs. While EBITDA rose to ₹300 crore and net profit surged to ₹202.5 crore in Q2 FY27, total expenses increased by 15% year-over-year to ₹1,131 crore.
Analysts suggest the stock's sharp decline reflects market skepticism about Page Industries' ability to sustain profitability amid rising costs. The company’s revenue growth and profit margins indicate resilience but raise questions about long-term margin sustainability in a challenging environment.
Page Industries’ dividend highlights financial strength, yet the stock's decline underscores investor doubts over future margin stability.
