Q2 FY27 revenue rose 34.6% to Rs 120.06 crore and profit rose 23.6% to Rs 65.74 crore, but EBITDA margin fell to 70.5% from 76.0%. A Rs 6.50 interim dividend has a record date of 22 Oct.

The board declared a first interim dividend of Rs 6.50 per share, with a record date of 22 October and payment on or before 12 November. Operating margin fell to 70.5% from 76.0% as content and promotion costs rose, so profit grew slower than revenue. Management said it is confident of beating its 20% annual growth guidance, and Tips Music shares are now close to the 52-week high of Rs 741.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tips Industries runs the Tips Music label, which owns a catalogue of Hindi film and non-film songs and earns most of its revenue from licensing to streaming platforms and YouTube. Tips Music shares have been a steady performer, helped by dividends and a recent buyback.<\/p>\n<p>This guide covers the Q2 FY27 numbers, the dividend and its dates, the buyback, what moved margins, where Tips Music shares trade and the risks.
