Hyundai Motor India Ltd. has declared a final dividend of Rs 21 per share, subjected to approval from shareholders, as per an exchange filing on Friday.
The dividend amount fell a bit short of bloomberg analysts' consensus estimate of Rs 23.8, but matched last fiscal's dividend payout.
Hyundai Motors net profit for the fourth quarter of FY26 declined 22.2% year-on-year to Rs 1,256 crore from Rs 1,614 crore in FY25. On the other hand, revenue from operations rose 5.4% Rs 18,916 crore from Rs 17,940 crore in the year-ago period.
Even as a strong appetite for SUVs and high-value models lifted the revenue, the growth failed to trickle down to the bottom line. Hyundai reported a 370-basis-point drop in EBITDA margins-down to 10.4% from 14.1% last year, which reflected the cooling of the post-pandemic seller's market.
The miss against street estimates was relatively narrow on profit but wider on operating income (EBITDA), suggesting that higher marketing spends and discount structures likely played a role in defending market share during the quarter. Hyundai's Q4 results signal a shift in the Indian auto landscape.
