Wendt India Declares 200% Interim Dividend as Q3 FY26 Profit Drops, Analysts Highlight Key Technical Levels

Wendt (India) Limited has announced a large interim dividend for FY26 even as quarterly profit has weakened. The manufacturer of super abrasives and grinding tools has reported lower net earnings for the December 2025 quarter, though revenue has grown, and an analyst has flagged key technical levels for Wendt India stock.

Founded in 1980, Wendt (India) Limited manufactures high-precision grinding machines, tools, and super abrasives for industrial users. The company operates from Hosur in Tamil Nadu. It is a joint venture between Carborundum Universal Ltd (CUMI) and 3M through Wendt GmbH and forms part of the $5.3 billion Murugappa Group.

The Board of Wendt (India) Limited has approved an interim dividend of 200%, which equals Rs. 20 per equity share on a face value of Rs. 10 for the financial year ending 31st March 2026. This payout benefits shareholders midway through the year, subject to the usual eligibility rules and payment timelines.

"The Record Date for determining the members eligible to receive aforesaid interim dividend is Wednesday, 28th January 2026. In the case of shareholders opting for NECS/ECS, the dividend would in the normal course be credited to their accounts by Wednesday, 18th February 2026. In the case of shareholders opting physical mode of payment, the same will be dispatched by Wednesday, 18th February 2026," said Wendt (India) in a stock exchange filing.

The interim dividend decision has come alongside weaker profitability in Q3FY26. For the quarter ended December 2025, Wendt India has reported a 63.75% year-on-year decline in net profit, down to Rs 2.98 crore from Rs 8.22 crore recorded in the December 2024 quarter, despite stronger sales.

The company has posted higher revenue in the same period. Sales in Q3FY26 have increased 14.52% to Rs 60.32 crore compared with Rs 52.67 crore in Q3FY25. The data suggests margin pressure, as profit has fallen even though turnover has grown during the December 2025 quarter.

Net profit (Rs crore)	8.22	2.98	-63.75%
