Infosys Dividend 2026: Record Date and Payout Details
Investors tracking Infosys are preparing for the upcoming record date for the IT major's FY27 interim dividend. The company has designated Tuesday, November 3, 2026, as the official record date to identify shareholders entitled to the payout. To qualify for this dividend, investors must hold the company's shares prior to the ex-dividend date.
The board of directors previously announced an interim dividend of ₹26 per equity share alongside the company's September quarter results on October 23. This figure represents an increase from the ₹23 per share interim dividend distributed during the previous financial year. According to the company's exchange filing, the scheduled payment date for this dividend is November 11, 2026.
Infosys has demonstrated a trend of gradually increasing its interim dividend payouts over recent years. The interim distribution rose from ₹18 per share in FY24 to ₹21 in FY25, followed by ₹23 in FY26, and reaching the current ₹26 for FY27. For the full FY26 period, the company distributed a total of ₹48 per share, consisting of the ₹23 interim payment and a ₹25 final dividend. This total was an increase from the ₹43 per share paid out in FY25.
Regarding market performance, the IT stock has shown recent volatility. While the share price increased by 1.63% over the past week and 14.49% over the past month, longer-term performance has been negative. Year-to-date, the stock has declined by 27.29%, and it is down 20.06% over the last year. Looking at a three-year horizon, the shares have lost 13.51%, and over five years, the decline stands at 30.21%.
Based on an indicative share price of ₹1,185, the FY26 total dividend of ₹48 per share resulted in a historical dividend yield of approximately 4.05%. The new interim dividend of ₹26 per share suggests an indicative yield of about 2.19% at that same reference price, though this does not account for any potential final dividend announcements for FY27.
Why it matters
For investors, the consistent growth in Infosys' interim dividends offers a potential income stream, though it must be weighed against the stock's significant long-term price depreciation.
