Escorts Kubota Ltd. has confirmed a final dividend payment of ₹33 per fully paid-up equity share for the financial year 2025-26. This announcement follows the company's strong fourth-quarter earnings report for FY26. Shareholders whose names appear as beneficial owners by the close of business on July 3, 2026, will be eligible for this dividend.
Dividend Details and Record Date
The board of directors at Escorts Kubota recommended the ₹33 per share final dividend, which will be disbursed only after receiving shareholder approval at the upcoming 80th Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM is scheduled for July 15, 2026, and will be conducted virtually via video conferencing and other audio-visual means. If approved, this final dividend will bring the total dividend payout for FY26 to ₹51 per equity share, including a special dividend of ₹18 per share distributed earlier in the fiscal year.
The company has stated that the dividend, once approved at the AGM, will be paid to eligible shareholders within 30 days of the meeting date.
Q4 FY26 Financial Performance
The dividend declaration coincided with Escorts Kubota's robust financial results for the March 2026 quarter. The company reported a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of ₹320.5 crore for Q4 FY26, marking an 18% increase compared to ₹271.6 crore in the same quarter last year.
Operational revenue also saw a significant rise, climbing 21.4% to ₹2,968.2 crore from ₹2,444.9 crore recorded a year earlier. Furthermore, consolidated EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) increased by 32.3% year-on-year, reaching ₹380.5 crore.
Brokerage Outlook and Stock Performance
Brokerage firm Axis Direct maintained a 'HOLD' rating on Escorts Kubota stock, though it slightly trimmed its 12-month target price to ₹3,530 from the previous ₹3,590. The firm noted that management is focused on long-term growth strategies, including new product launches, increased localization, export expansion, captive financing, and planned greenfield expansions.
However, Axis Direct cautioned that management anticipates the domestic tractor industry to remain largely flat in FY27 due to a high base, ongoing commodity inflation, and uncertainties related to monsoon patterns. Shares of Escorts Kubota closed at ₹2,948.30 on Thursday, reflecting a 0.54% increase for the day, but are down 22.81% year-to-date.
