The full read
Indo Borax closed FY26 with revenue up 23% at ₹215.45 crore and net profit up 19% at ₹49.74 crore — numbers already disclosed in an earlier filing. What the annual results add is the capital allocation tag: a total dividend of ₹40 per share, comprising a final dividend of ₹10 and a special dividend of ₹30. The special dividend alone is triple the base final, suggesting a management that prefers to return surplus rather than hoard it. Earnings growth of near-20% justifies the base payout; the special dividend reflects either exceptional cash flow or conviction that the balance sheet can take the hit. Either way, shareholders get a ₹40-per-share reward. The open question is whether FY27 can repeat the 23% top-line jump — and whether the special dividend becomes an annual fixture.
