Quess Corp Limited sets Q2 FY27 results and dividend meeting

Quess Corp Limited has scheduled a board meeting on October 30, 2026, to consider its unaudited Q2 FY27 and half-year financial results and a possible interim dividend. The decision follows a strong Q1 FY27, when revenue rose 15% year-on-year to ₹4,182 crore and profit after tax increased 61% to ₹82 crore.

When will Quess Corp announce Q2 FY27 results?

Quess Corp has informed the exchanges that its board is scheduled to meet on October 30, 2026, to approve unaudited results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026. The board will also consider declaring an interim dividend for FY27. The company had earlier closed its trading window from October 1 until 48 hours after the results declaration.

The company has separately scheduled an analyst and investor meeting for November 2, 2026 to discuss its Q2 FY27 financial results. An announcement also stated that Quess Corp would report Q2 2027 results on November 2 at 12:08 PM Indian Standard Time. The provided disclosures therefore indicate that the board consideration and the investor interaction are separate events, with investors awaiting the formal financial release.

The October 30 agenda is important because it combines the half-year financial update with a potential shareholder payout. No amount for a FY27 interim dividend has been disclosed in advance. Any decision on the dividend, including its record date and payment schedule, would be communicated after the board meeting.

How did Quess Corp perform in Q1 FY27?

Quess Corp reported Q1 FY27 revenue of about ₹4,182 crore, up 15% year-on-year, while EBITDA rose 21% to ₹85 crore and profit after tax increased 61% to ₹82 crore. The company also reported earnings per share of ₹5.50, compared with ₹3.42 in the first quarter of the previous year.

The quarterly data supplied for the company places revenue at ₹4,181 crore, representing 7.43% sequential growth and 14.52% annual growth. The small difference between ₹4,181 crore and ₹4,182 crore reflects the figures cited in separate supplied disclosures. Gross profit was reported at ₹74 crore, down 1.35% quarter-on-quarter.

Management said Q1 included a one-time revenue increase of ₹176 crore related to the new Labour Code. It also referred to an income-tax refund concerning earlier years. These disclosed items are relevant when assessing the quarter because they formed part of the reported financial outcome rather than recurring operational growth alone.

What dividend has Quess Corp paid to shareholders?

Quess Corp shareholders approved a total FY26 dividend of ₹11 per equity share at the company’s 19th annual general meeting on August 25, 2026. The approved payout comprised an interim dividend of ₹5 per share, a special interim dividend of ₹3 per share and a final dividend of ₹3 per share.

The final dividend of ₹3 per equity share for the year ended March 31, 2026 was approved at the annual general meeting. Quess Corp subsequently initiated its remittance, with a disclosure dated September 8, 2026 confirming the payment process. The final dividend represented 30% of the ₹10 face value per share.

The company had also declared a special interim dividend of ₹3 per share for FY26, with a May 8, 2026 record date and payment due on or before May 21, 2026. For FY25, Quess Corp had declared an interim dividend of ₹4 per share, payable on or before February 18, 2025. These prior distributions provide context for the board's upcoming consideration of an FY27 interim dividend, but do not establish the amount of any future payout.

Why does the Q2 update matter to Quess Corp investors?

The Q2 update matters because it will show whether the revenue and profit growth reported in the first quarter continued through the first half of FY27. It will also provide a comparison with Q2 FY26, when Quess Corp reported revenue of ₹3,832 crore, up 3% year-on-year, EBITDA of ₹77 crore, up 11%, and net profit of ₹51.6 crore, up 2.18%.

In Q2 FY26, the company reported an EBITDA margin of 2.00%, an improvement of 13 basis points. Investors will therefore be able to assess Q2 FY27 not only through revenue growth, but also through profitability and margins. The first-quarter figures included specific one-time items, making the composition of revenue and earnings a relevant consideration in the next result release.

The company’s October 23 market update noted that its share price closed at ₹323.15 on October 23, 2026, up 4.46% for the day. The supplied material linked investor attention to the planned financial-results meeting and the prospect of an interim dividend. However, no official result figures or dividend amount for Q2 FY27 had been disclosed in the information provided before the scheduled board meeting.

Conclusion

Quess Corp enters its Q2 FY27 board meeting after reporting higher Q1 revenue, EBITDA and profit, while shareholders have already approved an aggregate ₹11 per-share dividend for FY26. The October 30 agenda combines a half-year financial review with consideration of an interim dividend, making it a significant scheduled corporate event for the company’s investors.

The next formal milestones disclosed by Quess Corp are the board’s decision on Q2 FY27 results and any interim dividend, followed by the analyst and investor meeting scheduled for November 2, 2026. Investors will watch for reported revenue, margins, profit, details of one-time items and the terms of any dividend declaration.
