Board declares 4th interim dividend of ₹11.70

At a board meeting held on May 14, 2026, Great Eastern Shipping announced a 4th interim dividend for FY 2025-26 of ₹11.70 per equity share (face value ₹10 each). The announcement is repeated across the supplied excerpts, including a news item dated 05/14/2026.

The company also stated that the record date to ascertain eligible shareholders is May 20, 2026. The interim dividend is to be paid on or after June 09, 2026.

Total dividend for FY26: ₹35.10 per share, no final dividend

The board said the fourth interim dividend takes the total dividend for the year to ₹35.10 per share. The same data notes that for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the company had declared and paid three interim dividends totalling ₹23.40 per share.

Importantly, the board decided that there will be no final dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. So the year’s payout, as per the supplied text, is fully accounted for through interim dividends.

Ex-dividend and record date: May 20, 2026

For the interim 4 payout of ₹11.70, the ex-dividend date is shown as May 20, 2026, alongside the record date of May 20, 2026. A separate dividend payment history table also lists the event as cash dividend: ex/effective date 20/05/2026, cash amount ₹11.70, declaration date 14/05/2026, record date 20/05/2026.

In practical terms, these dates matter because eligibility for the dividend is tied to the record date, and the stock typically trades ex-dividend from the ex-date as reflected in the data.

Dividend yield figures cited across sources

Multiple dividend yield figures are included in the provided content:

• The quarter ending March 2026 dividend of ₹11.70 is described as translating to a dividend yield of 2.47% in one instance.
• Another line for the same quarter mentions a yield of 2.32%.
• A “GESHIP Latest Dividend” section shows dividend yield of 0.69% for the May 14, 2026 declaration.
• The dividend yield is also shown as 1.55 in a dividend history summary, and 1.5 as of May 29, 2026.

These differences are consistent with varying calculation conventions (period considered and the price used). The underlying declared dividend amount of ₹11.70 for interim 4 is consistent across the text.
