Muthoot Finance Board to Consider Interim Dividend for FY26 on [Date]

Muthoot Finance to Consider Interim Dividend Declaration

Muthoot Finance, a gold loan non-banking financial company (NBFC), has announced that its board of directors is scheduled to meet on Friday, April 10, to consider a proposal for the declaration of an interim dividend for the financial year 2025–26. The company made this announcement in its regulatory filing today.

As part of its dividend distribution policy, Muthoot Finance has fixed Monday, April 13, 2026, as the record date for determining the entitlement of equity shareholders for the said dividend, if declared. This practice allows investors to benefit from dividend income along with capital appreciation.

According to Trendlyne data, Muthoot Finance has declared an equity dividend amounting to ₹26 per share in the last 12 months and has announced a total of 18 dividends since 2012. The company last declared a ₹26 interim dividend in April 2025. With its current share price of ₹3,241 apiece, Muthoot Finance’s dividend yield stands at 0.80%.

In terms of financial performance, the company reported a standalone net profit of ₹2,656 crore for the December-ended quarter, marking a 95% increase compared with ₹1,363 crore reported in the same quarter last year. Net interest income (NII) stood at ₹4,467 crore during the reporting quarter, up from ₹2,721 crore in the December 2024 quarter, registering a 64% growth.

The NBFC's consolidated loan assets under management (AUM) grew 48% year-on-year to ₹1,64,720 crore in 9M FY26, compared with ₹1,11,308 crore in 9M FY25. During 9M FY26, loan AUM increased by ₹38,905 crore, registering a growth of 36%, while gold loan AUM rose by ₹36,702 crore, also reflecting a 36% increase.

The company, which experienced an uninterrupted rally from March 2023 to January 2026, has lost momentum in recent months due to a combination of factors, including a decline in gold prices, weakening demand for risk assets amid rising tensions in the Middle East, and profit booking. As a result, the stock closed 6% lower on March 6, following a 12.43% decline in February, which also turned its year-to-date returns negative at 14%. This performance marks a sharp contrast to the 78.44% rally in 2025, which was also its biggest annual gain in over a decade.
