Power Finance Corporation Declares Second Interim Dividend of Rs 3.65 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

Power Finance Corporation (PFC) has announced a second interim dividend of Rs 3.65 per share for the fiscal year 2025-2026. This dividend, representing 36.5%, aims to benefit shareholders. The payment is scheduled to be made by December 6, 2025. Investors must be on record by November 26, 2025, to qualify for this dividend.

PFC has a history of consistent dividend payments. Since September 2007, the company has declared dividends 45 times. Over the past year, PFC distributed approximately Rs 16.25 per share. This results in a dividend yield of about 4.48%, based on a recent share price of Rs 362.65, as reported by Trendlyne.

The company's payout ratio is relatively low, around 21-22%, according to Screener's data. This suggests that PFC's earnings are sufficient to support its dividends. In comparison, the average dividend yield in India's diversified financial services sector is lower, with SimplyWallSt reporting it at approximately 1.4%.

Currently trading at ₹370.25, PFC faces significant selling pressure. A bearish candlestick pattern indicates a potential downtrend. The stock's failure to stay above the 200-day EMA points to weakening momentum at higher levels.

Amruta Shinde, a Research Analyst at Choice Broking, commented on PFC's technical structure: "The breach of the crucial ₹372 support and its position below the 20-day and 50-day EMAs further reinforce a bearish technical structure." The RSI has dropped to 30.1, showing increasing bearish momentum and oversold conditions.

The ₹350-₹357 range is expected to act as strong support due to historical buying activity in this zone. A rebound from this area is possible if stability is found. However, if the stock falls below ₹350 decisively, deeper corrective moves may occur.

On the upside, resistance is now seen in the ₹381.65-₹388 range. Given the current setup, investors might consider waiting for clear price confirmation before making new investments.
