Frequently asked questions

• Does Vedanta pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 9.05% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 9.05% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 1.81% of net profits

  Vedanta has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 9.05% of its share value annually.

  Vedanta has paid out, on average, around 1.81% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 9.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Vedanta's case, that would currently equate to about 18.5 per share.

  While Vedanta's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

  Vedanta's most recent dividend payout was on 22 September 2021. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 9 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

• Have Vedanta's shares ever split?

  Vedanta's shares were split on a 599:1000 basis on 8 September 2013. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 599 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Vedanta shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.9% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Vedanta shares which in turn could have impacted Vedanta's share price.
