Mumbai, 20 June 2025: Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) has confirmed a final dividend of ₹24 per equity share for the financial year 2024-25. Investors aiming to receive this dividend must act swiftly, as today, 20 June 2025, is the final day to purchase shares and become eligible. From the next trading session, the stock will begin trading ex-dividend.

As of 10:29 AM IST on 20 June 2025, shares of Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) traded at ₹2,311.20, up ₹17.00 or 0.74% from the previous close. The stock opened at ₹2,295.00 and touched an intraday high of ₹2,311.50. The positive movement came as investors responded to HUL’s announcement of a ₹24 final dividend for FY25, with today being the last day to qualify. The company’s market cap stood at ₹5.43 lakh crore, and its dividend yield was 1.86%.

Key Dividend Information

• Dividend Type: Final
• Dividend Amount: ₹24 per equity share
• Applicable Financial Year: FY2024–25
• Last Date to Buy Shares: 20 June 2025

Only shareholders who hold HUL shares as of the record date will receive the dividend payout. This means investors must ensure their purchase is completed before market close today, as trades settled after will not qualify.

What Shareholders Will Receive

The exact dividend amount you receive will depend on how many shares you own on the record date:

• Holding 1 share = ₹24
• Holding 10 shares = ₹240
• Holding 100 shares = ₹2,400
• Holding 1,000 shares = ₹24,000

The dividend will be credited to the bank accounts of eligible shareholders on or after the official payment date, which will be confirmed by the company in a subsequent notice.

Company Performance Supports Dividend Payout

HUL’s decision to distribute a ₹24 final dividend follows a consistent financial performance. In its Q4 earnings for FY25, the FMCG major reported a 4% year-on-year increase in net profit, in line with analyst forecasts. The stable results reinforce HUL’s reputation for steady earnings, even amid inflationary pressures and muted rural demand.

Despite broader economic concerns, HUL has maintained its profit margins by optimising product pricing and reducing input cost impact through supply chain efficiencies. This resilience enables the company to continue rewarding its shareholders.

What Investors Should Watch Next

As the stock moves ex-dividend tomorrow, a slight price adjustment may be seen reflecting the dividend value. This is typical market behaviour as the entitlement to the payout shifts.

Investors should stay tuned to HUL’s upcoming official filings for the record date and dividend payment timeline. These announcements will offer clarity on when shareholders can expect the dividend in their accounts.

The move to declare a robust ₹24 dividend signals the management’s confidence in the company’s future outlook and its ability to generate consistent cash flows, which remains attractive for long-term investors seeking regular income.

Final Reminder for Investors

If you plan to capitalise on the dividend benefit, ensure your purchase of HUL shares is executed by the end of trading today. Waiting beyond this point will result in missing out on the ₹24 per share entitlement.

As dividend-paying stocks often draw investor interest, HUL’s announcement may influence short-term share movement and trading volumes during today’s session.
