Maruti Suzuki Rs 140 dividend: FY26 results and dates

Stock snapshot as results season picks up

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. was in focus after updates around its financial performance and shareholder payout for FY2025-26. The stock was reported lower in the latest trade, reflecting routine price moves even as investors tracked earnings and dividend timelines. Separately, the company’s Board approved financial results for the year ended 31 March 2026, and the automaker announced what it called its largest-ever dividend in value terms. Alongside, quarterly numbers showed revenue growth but profit pressure in Q4, while Q1 results reflected cost and margin headwinds.

Maruti Suzuki share price movement (as reported)

Maruti Suzuki’s share price was reported at Rs 13,626, down 0.51% from the previous close of Rs 13,695. Another market update stated that as on 13 Jul, 2026 at 03:52 PM IST, the share price was Rs 13,695, down 1.15% versus the previous closing price of Rs 13,854. The article also cited intraday reference points such as 14,275.15 and 14,490.50, and an NSE update showing 14,349, down 46.00 points (0.32%). These datapoints indicate multiple time-stamped snapshots rather than a single continuous price series.

Dividend announced: Rs 140 per share for FY2026

Maruti Suzuki said its Board recommended a dividend of Rs 140 per share for the year (face value Rs 5), compared with Rs 135 per share in FY2024-25. The company fixed 7 August as the record date to determine eligible shareholders. If approved at the upcoming annual general meeting (AGM), the dividend will be paid on 9 September to eligible shareholders, as per the article. The total dividend payout for FY2026 was reported at Rs 4,401.6 crore.

FY2025-26: record total sales and export mix

For the year ended 31 March 2026, Maruti Suzuki reported record total sales of 2,422,713 units. Domestic sales were stated at 1,974,939 units, while exports stood at 447,774 units. The unit mix matters because exports can change the realised pricing and the cost structure, depending on market and model mix. The sales numbers also provide context for how quarterly revenue and profit trends played out.

Q4 FY2025-26 highlights: record sales and net sales, but profit fell

For the quarter ended January to March (Q4 FY2025-26), the company recorded its highest-ever quarterly sales of 676,209 units, up 11.8% from Q4 FY2024-25. Domestic sales were 538,994 units, while exports hit an all-time high of 137,215 units. During the quarter, Maruti Suzuki achieved record net sales of Rs 50,078.7 crore (INR 500,787 million), compared with Rs 38,839.1 crore (INR 388,391 million) in Q4 FY2024-25.

Operating profit (EBIT) for Q4 FY2025-26 increased 30.4% year-on-year to Rs 4,409.2 crore (INR 44,092 million). Net profit, however, declined 6.9% year-on-year to Rs 3,590.5 crore (INR 35,905 million), which the company attributed primarily to mark-to-market impact.

Q4 results (standalone): profit missed estimates despite revenue growth

The article also reported that Maruti Suzuki posted a standalone net profit of Rs 3,591 crore in Q4 FY26, a 7% year-on-year decline from Rs 3,857 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. This was lower than Street estimates of Rs 4,279 crore cited in the report. Revenue from operations rose 28% year-on-year to Rs 52,449 crore in Q4 FY26 from Rs 40,910 crore in Q4 FY25, and was stated to have beaten analyst estimates of Rs 51,486 crore.

Q1 FY26 snapshot: revenue up YoY, EBIT down; PAT flat

For the quarter ended Jun 25 (Q1), the article provided a quarterly table (figures in Rs crore except per share values). Total revenue was reported at Rs 38,605.20 crore, up 7.90% year-on-year versus Rs 35,779.40 crore. Net income was Rs 3,792.40 crore, up 0.87% year-on-year versus Rs 3,759.70 crore. Operating income was Rs 3,066.60 crore, down 20.29% year-on-year from Rs 3,847.40 crore.

On costs, total operating expense was Rs 35,538.60 crore, up 11.29% year-on-year. Depreciation and amortisation was Rs 1,556.00 crore, up 16.84% year-on-year. Diluted normalised EPS was reported at 120.62 versus 119.58 a year earlier.

Drivers cited in the report: commodities and new plant expenses

In commentary accompanying the Q1 update, the article stated that operating EBIT declined due to adverse commodity prices and other factors. It also said the company faced expenses related to its new Kharkhoda plant. These factors are relevant because they can raise near-term cost levels even when revenue grows. For Q4, the article separately highlighted a mark-to-market impact as a key reason net profit fell year-on-year despite record net sales.

Key dates and corporate actions mentioned

The report included multiple event references around results and investor communication. It stated Maruti Suzuki would host its Q1FY26 earnings call for analysts and investors on 31 July at 5 p.m., after announcing quarterly financial results earlier in the day. It also said the company scheduled a Board meeting on Thursday, 31 July, to approve unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 30 June 2025, as per a stock exchange filing dated 8 July. The company also announced the trading window for designated persons was closed from 1 July and would remain shut until 48 hours after the declaration of financial results for the first quarter ending June 2025.

Market impact: what investors will likely track from here

The reported numbers show a clear split between top-line momentum and bottom-line variability across quarters. In Q4, revenue growth and record net sales were accompanied by a year-on-year decline in net profit, with mark-to-market cited as a driver. In Q1, revenue rose year-on-year but operating income declined, with the article pointing to commodity costs and Kharkhoda-related expenses.

For income-focused investors, the dividend timetable is the key near-term catalyst: record date on 7 August and a proposed payment date of 9 September, subject to AGM approval. Traders, meanwhile, often monitor how shares behave around record dates and result disclosures, though the report itself only provided point-in-time price snapshots.
