Cochin Shipyard Declares Interim Dividend of ₹4/Share; Approves Q2 & H1 FY26 Results
Cochin Shipyard announced an interim dividend of ₹4 per share and approved Q2 and H1 FY26 financial results, showing a decline in quarterly profit despite H1 revenue growth.
The declaration of an interim dividend and the approval of financial results are key corporate actions. While the dividend is positive, the substantial decline in quarterly and half-yearly profits compared to the previous year indicates a medium impact due to mixed financial performance.
The interim dividend declaration is a positive signal to shareholders. However, the consolidated financial results show a significant year-on-year decline in profit after tax for both the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2025, despite an increase in half-year revenue from operations. This presents a mixed financial picture.
* The Board of Directors of Cochin Shipyard Limited, at their meeting held on November 12, 2025, approved the standalone and consolidated unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2025. * An interim dividend of ₹4/- per equity share of ₹5/- each (80%) for the financial year 2025-26 was declared. * Tuesday, November 18, 2025, has been fixed as the Record Date for the interim dividend. * The interim dividend will be paid to eligible shareholders on or before December 11, 2025. * Consolidated Financial Highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Q2 FY26) compared to Q2 FY25: * Revenue from operations was ₹1,118.59 crore, a slight decrease from ₹1,143.20 crore. * Total Income remained stable at ₹1,245.88 crore compared to ₹1,244.34 crore. * Profit after tax (PAT) significantly decreased to ₹107.53 crore from ₹188.92 crore. * Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) was ₹4.09, down from ₹7.18. * Consolidated Financial Highlights for the half-year ended September 30, 2025 (H1 FY26) compared to H1 FY25: * Revenue from operations increased to ₹2,187.18 crore from ₹1,914.67 crore. * Total Income rose to ₹2,368.81 crore from ₹2,099.82 crore. * Profit after tax (PAT) decreased to ₹295.36 crore from ₹363.16 crore. * Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) was ₹11.23, down from ₹13.80. * Auditors highlighted the non-factoring of liquidated damages for two 1200 Passenger Ships where contractual delivery dates expired. The company has not recognized further liquidated damages beyond April 29, 2023, and October 30, 2023, citing a valid contract. The auditor's conclusion remains unmodified regarding this matter.
