The record date is 3 Nov 2026 and the payment date is 11 Nov 2026. Q2 FY27 net profit rose 6.23% year on year to Rs 7,823 crore, on revenue of Rs 49,244 crore, with the operating margin steady at 21%.<\/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;\">Infosys dividend 2026 comes with Q2 FY27 results announced on 23 Oct 2026, when the company reported a net profit of Rs 7,823 crore and approved an interim dividend of Rs 26 per share. Shareholders on record at the close of 3 Nov 2026 are eligible, and the money is due on 11 Nov 2026. At the closing price of Rs 1,153.80 the Rs 26 payout is a dividend yield of about 2.25% (my calculation). The company kept its FY27 revenue growth guidance at 1% to 2% in constant currency.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Infosys dividend 2026 matters to many retail investors, because Infosys is one of the most widely held stocks in India. The Infosys interim dividend of Rs 26 is 13% higher than the Rs 23 paid as the interim dividend last year (my calculation), even though profit growth was a more modest 6.23%.<\/p>\n<p>This article on Infosys dividend 2026 covers the dividend dates, the Q2 numbers, guidance and deal wins, the dividend yield maths, the dividend history, valuation against peers, and how tax and the ex-dividend date work.

This is possible because Infosys has a strong cash position and a record of high payouts. The data provider shows a trailing earnings per share of Rs 74.72 before Q2, so Rs 26 is about 35% of that figure (my calculation).<\/p>\n<p>The Infosys dividend 2026 yield of about 2.25% covers only the Infosys interim dividend. Infosys usually declares a final dividend after the full year as well, so the full year yield depends on what comes later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&#038;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to track the Infosys share price and dividend dates.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Infosys_Dividend_History_How_Infosys_Dividend_2026_Compares\"><\/span><strong>Infosys Dividend History: How Infosys Dividend 2026 Compares<\/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;\">Infosys dividend 2026: period<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Dividend per share<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">FY22 (full year)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">FY23 (full year)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 34<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">FY24 (full year)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">FY25 (full year)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 43<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">FY26 (full year)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Interim dividend, Sep 2025<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Interim dividend, Oct 2026<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Full year dividends are data provider figures and include interim and final payouts.

For the Infosys record date of 3 Nov 2026, the ex-dividend date normally falls on the record date, 3 Nov 2026, which means you need to buy the shares by the close of Monday, 2 Nov 2026 to be on the register. Please confirm the ex-dividend date on the NSE or BSE notice.<\/p>\n<p>Tax on Infosys dividend 2026 works like other dividends. Dividend income is taxed in the hands of the shareholder at the slab rate. A resident individual may see tax deducted at source at 10% if dividend from a company exceeds Rs 10,000 in a financial year, so a holding of 500 shares would cross that level with Rs 13,000 (my calculation). Tax rules change, so check the current position with a tax advisor before you act on Infosys dividend 2026 or any dividend.<\/p>\n<p>The share price usually adjusts downward by about the dividend amount on the ex-dividend date, all else equal. That means the Infosys interim dividend is a transfer of value from the share price to your bank account and not free money, and buying only for the dividend does not add return by itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Watch_After_the_Infosys_Dividend_2026_Announcement\"><\/span><strong>What to Watch After the Infosys Dividend 2026 Announcement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The share price reaction to Infosys dividend 2026 and the Q2 numbers in the next session<\/li>\n<li>The Infosys record date of 3 Nov 2026, the ex-dividend date and the price adjustment<\/li>\n<li>Analyst views on the maintained 1% to 2% revenue guidance and the 20% to 22% margin range<\/li>\n<li>Conversion of the $5.2 billion large deal wins into revenue and the Infosys Q2 results trend<\/li>\n<li>The final dividend that the board may declare after the full year<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Infosys dividend 2026 is Rs 26 per share, 13% higher than last year, with an Infosys record date of 3 Nov 2026 and payment on 11 Nov 2026.
