Vedanta Ltd's Third Interim Dividend and Demerger Plan Spark Buy Recommendations Vedanta Ltd, a major player in the metals sector, is set to announce its third interim dividend for the fiscal year 2025-26 on March 23, 2026. The company, known for its consistent dividend payouts, is expected to reveal details of the dividend during the announcement. Investors are advised to monitor the stock ahead of the event, as the company’s stock ended lower by 3% the previous week, potentially presenting a buying opportunity. The stock price of Vedanta Ltd closed at Rs 672.60 on BSE on March 22, 2026, marking a 1.12% increase. Despite this rise, the stock closed the week with a 2.6% decline, though it has gained nearly 12% year-to-date. The stock is currently trading below its 52-week high of Rs 770, which could attract traders looking for a rebound. Vedanta’s dividend history is notable, with the company having distributed at least 45 dividends since September 2003. In the last 12 months, it awarded up to Rs 23 per share for FY26, resulting in a current market yield of 3.4%. Additionally, the company has executed two bonus issues of 1:1 each in February 2005 and August 2008, and a 1:10 split in August 2008. To be eligible for the third interim dividend, investors must hold Vedanta shares as of the record date, which is set for March 28, 2026. However, the stock will trade ex-dividend on March 27, meaning purchases after that date will not qualify for the dividend. The dividend announcement coincides with Vedanta’s demerger plan, which is in the execution phase. The demerger will split the company into five separate entities, with a ratio of 1:5.#bse #vedanta_ltd #hindustan_zinc #bofa_securities #vedanta_oil_gas
