Dividend Share: A gain of ₹25 per share without doing anything—you just need to buy before June 10...

If you are looking for a stock that offers a handsome dividend, consider buying shares of Infosys soon. Infosys has announced a dividend of ₹25 per share for the financial year 2025-26. The company has set June 10 as the record date for this; this means you must own Infosys shares before this date to be eligible for the dividend. During the financial year 2026, Infosys posted a net profit of ₹29,440 crore, marking a growth of 10.20%—a testament to the company's financial strength and the continuous flow of major orders.

Only those investors whose names appear as 'beneficial owners' in the company's register of members or depository records by June 10 will be entitled to the dividend. Shareholders will grant final approval for this at the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on June 23, and the dividend amount will be transferred to investors' bank accounts shortly thereafter, on June 25. Infosys has already paid an interim dividend of ₹23 per share for the same financial year.
