Aurobindo Pharma Declares 400% Interim Dividend Despite Profit Decline

Several companies across different sectors have recently declared interim dividends for the financial year 2025-26. Aurobindo Pharma announced a 400 percent interim dividend of Rs 4 per equity share, with a record date set for August 8 and payment by August 21, despite reporting a 10.3% decline in consolidated net profit for Q1 FY26. Akzo Nobel India, a BSE 500 paints sector company, declared a substantial one-time special interim dividend of Rs 156 per share, with the record date on August 11 and payment due within 30 days. The PRS REIT, a UK-based real estate investment trust, declared an interim quarterly dividend of 1.1 pence per share for Q4 2025, payable around August 29 to shareholders on record as of August 15, marking a total annual dividend increase from 4.0p to 4.3p per share. Goldplat Plc, an AIM-listed mining services group operating in Africa and South America, declared a dividend alongside its Q4 operational update, highlighting improved operating profits in South Africa and Ghana but forecasting materially lower full-year profits compared to expectations due to business model changes and currency impacts. These dividend declarations reflect a range of financial performances and strategic decisions by companies in pharma, paints, real estate, and mining sectors.
