Venky's AGM 2026: Record Date, Dividend, Q1 Profit

AGM scheduled for September 29, 2026

Venky’s (India) Limited has set its 50th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, September 29, 2026. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. and will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). For shareholders, the AGM is the key event where dividend proposals and other statutory matters typically come up for approval.

The company, part of the VH Group, is known as a fully integrated poultry player in Asia. Its operations span poultry breeding and processing, animal health products, and oilseed extraction. Corporate operations are based in Pune.

Record date fixed for dividend eligibility

The record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the dividend has been fixed at Friday, September 11, 2026. This record date is specifically stated to be for deciding eligibility of shareholders entitled to receive dividend on equity shares, if the dividend is approved in the AGM.

Record dates matter because they determine which shareholders are considered eligible based on the company’s register of members. In Venky’s case, the record date has been communicated alongside the AGM schedule, giving investors a clear window to align their holdings with the eligibility cut-off.

Final dividend recommendation: Rs 10 per share

Venky’s (India) has disclosed that its Board of Directors, at the meeting held on May 14, 2026, recommended a final dividend of Rs 10 per equity share (100%). The recommendation is subject to shareholder approval.

This makes the September 29, 2026 AGM an important checkpoint. The company has explicitly linked the record date of September 11, 2026 to dividend eligibility, conditional on shareholders approving the proposal at the AGM.

Board and results calendar: key dates disclosed

Alongside the AGM update, the company’s board meeting schedule and purposes were also indicated. The listed meeting dates include quarterly results and audited results with the final dividend recommendation.

The company also filed its 50th Annual Report on September 7, 2026 (Reg. 34(1) Annual Report). Separately, the company’s 49th AGM proceedings have been referenced as an attached document in an outcome filing.

Profit snapshot: Q1FY27 and earlier quarters

Venky’s (India) reported a net profit of ₹50 crore for Q1FY27, up 216% year-on-year. The company attributed this to strong performance across poultry, animal health, and oilseed segments.

In another disclosed comparison, the poultry and processed food maker’s net profit tumbled 78.94% year-on-year to Rs 15.83 crore in Q1 FY26 from Rs 75.18 crore in the same quarter last year. This contrast highlights how earnings have moved sharply across periods, with subsequent recovery indicated by the Q1FY27 figure.

The company also reported that net profit rose 662.18% to Rs 101.37 crore in the quarter ended March 2026 versus Rs 13.30 crore in the quarter ended March 2025. These numbers, taken together, show meaningful volatility but also periods of sharp improvement.

Stock snapshot: price and listings

Venky’s (India) is listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) under the symbol VENKEYS and on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) with scrip code 523261.

The current share price of Venky’s (India) Ltd is stated as ₹1,652.80 as of 2026-09-25. This price point provides context for investors tracking the AGM and dividend-related timeline.

Business profile: integrated poultry and diversified segments

Venky’s is described as one of Asia’s largest fully integrated poultry companies. Its portfolio includes poultry breeding and chicken meat processing, animal health products, and oilseed extraction.

The company’s integrated positioning matters because performance can be influenced by multiple segment drivers rather than a single line of business. In the Q1FY27 update, performance across poultry, animal health, and oilseed segments was specifically cited as supporting profit growth.

Additional reported metrics: growth and ROE

The provided information also notes that the company has delivered poor sales growth of 3.64% over the past five years. It also states that the company has a low return on equity (ROE) of 7.81% over the last three years.

While these metrics do not replace the latest quarterly updates, they add context for long-term shareholders evaluating the company’s track record alongside near-term profit swings.
