ITC Reports a Fourfold Jump in Q4 Profit, Announces Attractive Dividend
ITC Ltd has reported stellar financial results for the fourth quarter of FY25, with a massive 4x jump in consolidated net profit. The company posted a net profit of ₹19,727.37 crore, compared to ₹4,934.80 crore in Q4 FY24, marking one of its highest-ever quarterly profits.
This significant surge is largely due to an exceptional gain from discontinued operations, primarily linked to the demerger of its hotel business. The profit from discontinued operations after tax stood at a whopping ₹14,652.61 crore.
Meanwhile, the profit from continuing operations stood at ₹5,155.27 crore — still higher than the previous quarter.
Dividend Declared: ₹14.25 Total for FY25
The board of directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹7.85 per share. Combined with the interim dividend of ₹6.50 declared in February 2025, shareholders will receive a total dividend of ₹14.25 per share for FY 2024-25, subject to approval.
