MRF paid the same Rs 3 as interim dividends in November 2025 and February 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_MRF_dividend_record_date\"><\/span><strong>What is the MRF dividend record date?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> I could not confirm the record date for this declaration from the sources I read. Last year&#x27;s Rs 3 interim had a record date of 21 November 2025, but check the current exchange filing for the actual date.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_will_the_MRF_dividend_be_paid\"><\/span><strong>When will the MRF dividend be paid?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The payment date is not confirmed in the sources I read. Last year the Rs 3 interim was paid on or after 5 December 2025, so a similar gap is possible, but the filing is the only reliable source.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_MRF_called_Indias_most_expensive_stock\"><\/span><strong>Why is MRF called India&#x27;s most expensive stock?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Mint uses that description because the MRF share price is above Rs 1 lakh, the result of the company not splitting its shares over the years. A high absolute price does not mean the stock is overvalued.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_dividend_yield_on_the_Rs_3_payout\"><\/span><strong>What is the dividend yield on the Rs 3 payout?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> By my arithmetic, Rs 3 on a price of Rs 1,22,270 is about 0.0025%. Counting the full FY26 payout of Rs 235, the yield is about 0.19%.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_eligible_for_the_MRF_dividend\"><\/span><strong>Who is eligible for the MRF dividend?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Shareholders on the company&#x27;s books at the record date are eligible. Under T+1 settlement the ex-date equals the record date, so buy at least one trading day before it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_cash_does_MRF_pay_out_with_a_Rs_3_dividend\"><\/span><strong>How much cash does MRF pay out with a Rs 3 dividend?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Last year&#x27;s Rs 3 interim amounted to nearly Rs 1.27 crore in total, according to a report, which implies about 42 lakh shares. The same share count gives the same outflow now.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_MRF_a_good_dividend_stock_to_buy\"><\/span><strong>Is MRF a good dividend stock to buy?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Univest does not recommend any security. MRF&#x27;s yield near 0.19% is low next to tyre peers, so it suits investors focused on the business rather than income.
