Vedanta dividend alert! Last day to buy shares of Anil Agarwal-led company for Rs 5/share dividend
Vedanta reported results in a corporate actions development.
· ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets
The company last week declared the interim dividend, which marks its first payout since the stock adjusted for its mega demerger earlier this year. The total dividend payout will be Rs 1,955 crore. Vedanta is closely watched by investors for its consistent track record of dividend payments.
The analysis
Vedanta reported Rs 5 and Rs 1,955 crore. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +1.4% on the day at ₹237.90, and has returned -11.1% over three months. It sits 33% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The metals & mining sector has moved -9.5% over the same period, so Vedanta is running 1.6 points behind its peers.
For Vedanta, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the metals & mining peer set alongside it.
