- ITC’s FY26 total dividend rises to Rs 14.50 per share including the Rs 6.60 interim paid in January, a yield near 4.7% that helps explain investor interest despite recent share weakness.
- Q4FY26 results showed revenue up about 17% to Rs 23,821.48 crore while consolidated profit fell nearly 73% to Rs 5,387 crore because Q4FY25 included large one‑time exceptional gains.
