The full read
ITC's FY25-26 annual results landed without drama. Revenue grew roughly 9% on a consolidated basis, while continuing operations net profit inched up. The headline move was the final dividend recommendation of ₹8 a share, taking the total for the year to ₹14.50 – a slight increase from last year's ₹14.35. For a company with a market cap near ₹4 lakh crore, these numbers are squarely in the 'steady-as-she-goes' zone. No new strategic pivot, no margin surprise, no guidance revision. The filing is a textbook periodic disclosure, and the numbers were broadly in line with expectations.
