Studds Accessories Approves Dividend, ESOPs, and Key Management Changes
Studds Accessories approved audited financial results for FY ended March 31, 2026. A dividend of ₹3 per share was recommended. The company also approved the Studds ESOP Scheme 2026. Mr. Manish Mehta will step down as CFO on July 1, 2026, and Mr. Bharat Goyal will be appointed as the new CFO.
The approval of audited financial results, dividend recommendation, and the new ESOP scheme are standard corporate activities. However, the changes in CFO and the introduction of an ESOP plan can have a medium-term impact on financial performance and employee motivation.
The announcement includes routine financial results, a dividend recommendation, the approval of an ESOP scheme, and key management changes. While these are important corporate actions, they do not inherently signal a significant positive or negative shift in the company's immediate prospects.
Studds Accessories Limited announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on May 23, 2026. The Board approved the Audited Financial Results for the Quarter and Financial Year ended March 31, 2026.
The company recommended a dividend of ₹ 3 per equity share (60%) for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
A significant development was the approval of the Studds Accessories Limited Employee Stock Option Scheme 2026 (Studds ESOP Scheme 2026), intended to grant stock options to eligible employees. This scheme is in accordance with SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021, and requires shareholder approval at the AGM.
In terms of Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) changes, Mr. Manish Mehta will step down from his position as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and KMP, effective July 1, 2026. He will transition to the role of Vice President- Taxation & Compliance. Concurrently, Mr. Bharat Goyal has been appointed as the new CFO and KMP, also effective July 1, 2026.
Additionally, Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP has been appointed as the Internal Auditors for the Financial Year 2026-27. The Board Meeting commenced at 6:45 PM IST and concluded at 7:45 PM IST.
