Q4 Results Live Updates: HDFC, ICICI, Yes Bank Among Major Banks To Declare March Quarter Earnings

HDFC Bank Q4 Results Live: HDFC Bank could announce a final dividend of about Rs 8 per share for FY26, based on Bloomberg estimates and after accounting for the Rs 5 per share special dividend already declared during the year.

Bloomberg estimates place FY26 dividend expectations at Rs 13.08 per share. With Rs 5 per share already announced as a special dividend, the implied balance payout works out to about Rs 8 per share if the bank matches the consensus estimate.

That has drawn attention because HDFC Bank has beaten Bloomberg dividend estimates in each of the past four fiscals, extending a pattern of payouts above market expectations. Read More Here
