TCS share price was up 1.32% and was trading at ₹3,289.55 at 9.07 AM on Friday. The IT giant has announced a final dividend of ₹30 per equity share for FY25. Each share has a face value of ₹1.
This decision was made at the Board Meeting held on Thursday. The final dividend will be paid 5 days after the 30th Annual General Meeting (AGM), subject to shareholder approval.
With the ₹30 final dividend, the total dividend declared for FY25 now stands at ₹126 per share. This includes a ₹10 interim dividend and a special dividend of ₹66 declared in January 2025.
In comparison, the total dividend per share for FY24 was ₹73. That financial year saw multiple payouts: ₹18 per share in January, ₹28 in May, and ₹10 each in July and October.
Despite generous dividends, TCS shares have seen a significant drop recently. Over the past month, the stock has fallen by 10%. It has declined by 20% in 3 months and 24% in six months. Over the past year, it has been down 18%.
However, the stock has shown strong long-term performance. In the last 5 years, TCS share price has gained by 84%. On Wednesday, the stock closed 1.44% lower at ₹3,246.10 on the BSE.
TCS also reported a rise in attrition during Q4. The attrition rate reached 13.3% over the last 12 months. This is an important metric for investors and analysts as it reflects workforce stability.
TCS has rewarded shareholders with a generous total dividend of ₹126 per share for FY25, outpacing last year’s payouts. While the stock has underperformed in the short term, news reports suggest that its long-term growth outlook remains strong. Investors should weigh the company’s consistent dividend policy against the recent share price trends.
