In what can be called an unprecedented decision, Oracle Financial Services-the Indian arm of the US multinational company Oracle Corporation-announces an unbelievable dividend of 5,300% for the financial year 2024-25. It is also the highest in terms of dividends declared by the company in the last decade, causing waves in the investment community.
Oracle Financial Services has a market cap of ₹74,768 crores. The company proved itself once again by pampering its shareholders. The company’s board has declared a dividend of ₹265 per share, making it a monumental return against the face value of the share at just ₹5.
This Is a Dividend for the Loyal Investor
For longtime stockholders, this announcement is as good as it gets in financial terms. The company has a history of generous dividends, such as the ₹485 per share one in 2014, but this year’s offer stands out as among the richest in recent memory.
Investors, however, must have their shares in the demat accounts by May 8, 2025, which is when Oracle Financial Services has declared the record date for the dividend. The dividend would be paid on or before May 17, 2025, making it worth waiting for by those loyal stakeholders.
Financial Performance While the Market Is Shaky
Oracle Financial Services has indicated robust growth over the past few months, even though its stock value has dropped by 32%. The company showed a consolidated turnover of ₹1,716 crore with a year-on-year increase of 4% for the quarter ended March 2025.
