Jio Financial Shares Gain 3% After Board Sets Date to Consider Maiden Dividend
Shares of Jio Financial Services Ltd rose as much as 2.5% to Rs 235.85 on the BSE on Tuesday, after the company revealed a key board meeting this week to consider its first-ever dividend.
In a regulatory filing, the Reliance Group’s non-banking financial arm announced that its board of directors will meet on Thursday, April 17, to review and approve the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025.
Crucially, the board will also recommend a dividend on equity shares for the financial year — marking what could be a significant milestone for investors, as it would be Jio Financial's maiden dividend since its demerger from Reliance Industries.
The stock’s upward movement reflects positive sentiment among investors anticipating strong financial performance and a shareholder payout, which could enhance the stock's appeal in the NBFC space.
The announcement comes at a time when broader market indices are also trading higher, and investor confidence in financial and fintech-related stocks remains robust.
