Crizac Declares Interim Dividend of ₹8 Per Share: Record Date, Rationale & Impact on Shareholders.

Kolkata, February 04, 2026: Crizac Limited’s Board of Directors has declared an interim dividend of ₹8.00 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. The dividend, equivalent to a 400% payout on the face value of ₹2 per share, underscores the management’s confidence in near-term earnings and cash flows.

This corporate action is in the form of a cash dividend, which will give direct value to qualified shareholders without any impact on the capital structure of the firm.

Dividend Dates and Timeline

Crizac approved the interim dividend at its Board meeting on January 28, 2026, and the decision was officially announced to the stock exchanges on January 30, 2026.

The announcement confirmed the company’s intent to reward shareholders through a cash payout.

The company has fixed February 4, 2026, as the record date to determine eligible shareholders. The interim dividend will be credited or paid on or before February 26, 2026.

Rationale Behind the Dividend

The interim dividend is backed by Crizac Limited’s strong operating and profit performance in Q3 FY26. The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹27,863.60 lakh for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, up 28.0% year-on-year, while consolidated PAT rose 16.7% YoY to ₹5,052.77 lakh. Standalone PAT increased sharply by 67.5% YoY to ₹4,223.88 lakh, reflecting improved profitability at the core business level.

While the consolidated PAT margin for Q3 FY26 moderated to 18.13% from 19.89% a year ago, margins for the nine-month period improved to 22.24% from 20.65% YoY, indicating better earnings quality over the longer term.

These factors support the company’s decision to declare an interim dividend, reflecting sufficient profitability and cash generation during the financial year.

Impact on Shareholders

Qualified stockholders will be entitled to a direct cash dividend of ₹8 per share, which will increase their total return and will not change the shareholding proportion.

The payout does not involve any bonus, split, or rights issue, ensuring that the number of shares held by investors remains unchanged.

Post the ex-dividend date, Crizac’s share price is expected to adjust to account for the dividend payout, in line with standard market mechanics.

Market Reaction and Share Price Effect

Crizac Ltd shares were trading at ₹244.10 on February 4 at 11:05 am IST, down ₹7.10 or 2.83% from the previous close of ₹251.20. The stock opened at ₹244.80, hit an intraday high of ₹246.90, and fell to a low of ₹238.50.

The decline reflects a dividend-related adjustment on the record date. At the same time, Crizac’s market capitalisation stood at ₹4.26 crore, with the stock trading below its 52-week high of ₹387.95 and above its 52-week low of ₹217.30.
