Mastek Ltd, a leading digital engineering and cloud transformation company, turned ex-dividend on September 12, 2025. The company’s board has recommended a final dividend of ₹16 per share (320% on face value of ₹5) for FY25, which will be distributed after shareholder approval at the upcoming 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Dividend Details and Payout Timeline
In its exchange filing, Mastek confirmed that the ₹16 per share final dividend will be credited to shareholders’ accounts within 30 days from AGM approval. This is in addition to the ₹7 interim dividend already paid during the financial year, taking the total dividend for FY25 to ₹23 per share (460%), compared with ₹19 per share (380%) in FY24.
How Much Will 100 Shares Earn?
For retail investors, the payout can be significant:
- Dividend Declared (Final): ₹16 per share
- Number of Shares: 100
- Total Dividend: 100 × ₹16 = ₹1,600
Thus, an investor holding 100 Mastek shares as of the record date will be entitled to a ₹1,600 dividend payout, subject to approval at the AGM.
Eligibility Criteria: Record Date and Settlement
The record date for dividend eligibility has been set as September 12, 2025. However, under India’s T+1 settlement system, only investors who purchased Mastek shares on or before September 11, 2025, will be eligible to receive the dividend. Those buying on or after September 12 will not qualify, as the shares would be credited post record date.
Mastek’s Recent Performance – Q1FY26 Highlights
Alongside dividend announcements, Mastek has also shared updates on its operational performance for Q1FY26:
- The company added 12 new clients, bringing the total active client base to 323, down from 348 in the previous quarter.
- The 12-month order backlog stood at ₹2,347.9 crore (US$273.8 million) as of June 30, 2025, representing an 8.3% year-on-year growth from ₹2,168.8 crore in Q1FY25.
- On a sequential basis, the backlog grew by 2.5%, up from ₹2,290.9 crore in Q4FY25.
Outlook
Mastek’s consistent dividend payouts, coupled with growth in its order book, reflect the company’s ability to balance shareholder returns with business expansion. However, the decline in the number of active clients will likely be a key area of discussion in the upcoming AGM.
