Shares of Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, the company behind Domino's Pizza and other quick-service restaurant brands, rose 1.79% to close at ₹429.05 on July 16, 2026. The gain came after the company announced a final dividend of ₹1.20 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The ex-date for this dividend is July 17, 2026, meaning investors must hold shares before that date to be eligible for the payout.

This dividend continues a trend—Jubilant FoodWorks has paid ₹1.20 per share consistently for four consecutive years since March 2023, adjusted for a stock split. Before the split, the dividend was ₹6.00 per share (face value ₹10), equivalent to the current ₹1.20 per share (face value ₹2), showing steady returns for shareholders.

The dividend yield based on the current share price is 0.28%. This consistent payout, along with strong revenue and profit growth, reflects the company's healthy financial position and its commitment to rewarding shareholders. With the ex-date tomorrow, eligible investors will receive the dividend payment soon.
