Diwali Gift: Infosys Declares First Interim Dividend Of Rs 26/Sh For FY27; Check Record, Payment Dates

Infosys has declared its highest interim dividend in over 11 years. On October 23, 2026, the tech giant announced an interim dividend of Rs 26 per share for financial year 2026-27, which is the first dividend payout in the fiscal year. The announcement was made during Q2FY27 earnings, under which the company's net profit surged by over 6% YoY.

Infosys Interim Dividend

In a board meeting held on October 23, 2026, Infosys declared its first interim dividend of Rs 26 per share for FY27.

This came after the company delivered up to Rs 48 dividend per share in FY26 --- comprising of an interim dividend of Rs 23 in October 2025 --- and a final dividend of Rs 25 in June 2026.

The latest FY27 dividend has also become its highest since June 2015. The last time the company declared an above Rs 25 dividend was in June 2025 at Rs 29.50 apiece, as per Trendlyne data. While Infosys' highest dividend is of Rs 115 per share, which the company paid in May 2004.

So far, the Trendlyne data revealed that Infosys has delivered as much as 51 dividends since May 2002. Its currently dividend yield is at 4.16%.

Infosys Dividend Record Date, Ex-Dividend Date, Payment Date

As per the filing, Infosys has fixed November 3, 2026 as the record date to determine eligible shareholders for the dividend payout. This will also mark November 3rd as the ex-dividend date. Meanwhile, the payout will be on November 11, 2026, during the celebration of Diwali.

Both the record and ex-date usually fall on the same day. They are called "deadlines" and are meant for identifying the names of shareholders to receive dividends. If you miss the November 3rd deadline and bought Infosys shares after, you will not be eligible. So, investors should hold Infosys shares in their demat account as of November 3rd.

The calculation is simple: You get the dividend amount on every 1 share if you are eligible. So if you hold 1 Infosys share, you get Rs 26. For holding 10 Infosys shares, you get Rs 260 in bank account. The number rises to Rs 2,600 in the bank account for holding 100 shares, or Rs 13,000 on 500 Infosys shares. If you hold 10,000 Infosys shares, you get a whopping Rs 2.60 lakh in the form of dividends.

For Q2FY27, Infosys earned a consolidated net profit of Rs 7,823 crore in Q2FY27, registering a growth of 6.2% YoY and 0.7% QoQ. On the top-line front, Infosys posted revenue from operations at Rs 49,244 crore in Q2FY27, registering a growth of 10.7% from Rs 44,490 crore revenue in Q2FY26. The revenue surged by 2.1% from Rs 48,211 crore in Q1 FY27.
