HUL Approves Interim Dividend Of Rs 19 Per Share: What It Means For Investors
The board of Hindustan Unilever Ltd. has approved an interim dividend of Rs 19 per share for the financial year 2026. The record date for determining the entitlement of shareholders for the interim dividend has been fixed as Friday, November 7, 2025, and the dividend will be paid to shareholders on Thursday, November 20, 2025.
Dividend Distribution
The FMCG giant will distribute Rs 4,464 crore via the dividend to nearly 11 lakh shareholders. The British promoter entities will gain Rs 2,763 crore. This move is expected to boost investor sentiment and provide a positive catalyst for the stock.
HUL had Rs 2,327 crore in cash and cash equivalents as of the September quarter, indicating a strong liquidity position. The company had paid an interim dividend of Rs 19 and a final dividend of Rs 24 in FY25, demonstrating its commitment to rewarding shareholders.
Financial Performance
Hindustan Unilever reported a low-single-digit increase in revenue for the September quarter due to flat volume growth. Consolidated revenue rose 2% year-on-year to Rs 16,241 crore. Meanwhile, profit rose 3.6% to Rs 2,685 crore, comfortably beating Bloomberg’s estimate of Rs 2,591 crore.
Margin saw an 80 basis point contraction to come at 23% and may remain at that level going forward, HUL said. Price growth is projected to be in low single digit if commodity prices remain constant. GST-related disruption continued into October, and normal trading conditions are anticipated from early November, HUL said.

HUL shares rose nearly 3% intraday to Rs 2,667.2 on the NSE. The benchmark Nifty was up 0.7%. The total traded turnover was Rs 320 crore. The stock has risen nearly 14% so far this year, outperforming the broader market.
