The face value is Re 1, so the payout is 2,500% of face value. LTM, earlier known as LTIMindtree, traded at Rs 4,168.30 at about 12:30 PM, down 1.9%, which gives a dividend yield of about 0.6% (my calculation).<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">LTM dividend for the September 2026 quarter is an interim payout of Rs 25 per equity share of face value Re 1, up from Rs 22 a year ago. The record date is 23 Oct 2026, and under the T+1 cycle the ex-dividend date normally falls on the same day, so shares had to be held by the close of 22 Oct to qualify. The payment date was not stated in the sources I read, so check the exchange filing. At Rs 4,168.30 the yield on this payout is about 0.6%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>LTM dividend news comes at a mixed time for the stock, because Q2 revenue grew in double digits while net profit was flat and order inflow fell. The shares jumped 3.66% to Rs 4,390 on the results day, 16 Oct, and have since given back about 5% (my calculation).<\/p>\n<p>This article on LTM dividend explains the amount, the record date and the ex-dividend rule, compares it with past payouts, summarises the Q2 results and lists what to check before you act. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&#038;utm_medium=ltm-dividend-2026-record-date-today-payout-per-share-history-and-q2-results\">Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/ltm-dividend-2026-record-date-today-payout-per-share-history-and-q2-results\/#LTM_Dividend_2026_at_a_Glance\" title=\"LTM Dividend 2026 at a Glance\">LTM Dividend 2026 at a Glance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/ltm-dividend-2026-record-date-today-payout-per-share-history-and-q2-results\/#Who_Gets_the_LTM_Dividend_The_Ex-Dividend_Rule\" title=\"Who Gets the LTM Dividend?

Enterprise AI and Business AI revenue together grew 47% YoY, and chief executive Venu Lambu said the company is well positioned for stronger growth ahead. The company gave no formal guidance, so that statement is a view and not a forecast.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LTM_Share_Price_Around_the_Dividend\"><\/span><strong>LTM Share Price Around the Dividend<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">LTM dividend: price point<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Level<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Close on 16 Oct 2026 (results day)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 4,390, up 3.66%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Previous close on 22 Oct<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 4,249<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Open today<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 4,318.30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Day high<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 4,382.90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Day low<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 4,142.20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Last traded price (about 12:30 PM)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 4,168.30, down 1.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The LTM dividend of Rs 25 is about 0.6% of the price, so it explains only a small part of today&#8217;s fall of Rs 80.70. On an ex-dividend day a stock often drifts lower by roughly the payout, but the rest of the move is the market. The shares fell about 5.5% from the day high to the day low (my calculation), even though the Nifty IT index was among the best sectors on a weak day.<\/p>\n<p>A dividend is not extra return. It is a part of the company&#8217;s value paid out in cash, and the share price adjusts for it. An investor should not buy a stock only to collect a small payout, because the price can fall by a similar amount, and tax on the dividend makes the net gain smaller.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LTM_Dividend_What_Should_Investors_Do\"><\/span><strong>LTM Dividend: What Should Investors Do?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">LTM dividend: investor type (my reading)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Points to weigh<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Existing shareholder<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">The Rs 25 payout is credited to eligible holders, so no action is needed; keep the filing for tax records<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">New buyer today<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">The shares are ex-dividend, so judge the stock on Q2 results, order inflow and valuation and not on the payout<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Income-focused investor<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">A yield near 0.6% is low, so this is a growth and quality holding more than an income holding<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>This is an educational view and not advice.

The Q2 results show double-digit revenue growth, flat profit and weaker order inflow, so the stock will depend on deal wins more than on the payout.
