ITC shares rally 3% post Q4 results announcement; check key numbers

At around 12:59 pm, the scrip was trading 2.78% higher at ₹437.95 per share on the NSE.

The stock gained 0.49% over the week and 2.79% month-to-date. The ITC share, however, has lost 4.08% since the beginning of the year.

On Thursday, the Kolkata-based firm said that its net profit increased by 2%, supported by a surge in rural demand, steady growth in the mainstay cigarettes business and an exceptional gain of ₹15,179.43 crore on the demerger of its hotels business.

ITC’s standalone net profit before tax and exceptional items was at ₹6,416.85 crore in Q4FY25, jumping 2.06% YoY from ₹6,287.57 crore earnings in the corresponding period last year, according to a company statement and stock exchange filing.

A recovery in rural demand backed by a good monsoon offset the impact of soft consumption in urban areas due to inflation.

Further, ITC's earnings from the cigarette business, which generates the highest revenue, rose 4% to ₹5,118 crore. Additionally, its revenue from its consumer goods segment, which houses popular household brands like Aashirvaad, Sunfeast and Bingo, was up by 3.7% at ₹5,495 crore.

The company’s gross revenue stood at ₹18,266 crore in the quarter ended March FY25, rising 9.2% YoY to ₹18,266 crore in Q4FY24, while EBITDA expanded by 2.5% to ₹5,986 crore. Its margin surged 50 basis points to 32.37%.

ITC board recommends final dividend

ITC’s board of directors also recommended a final dividend of ₹7.85 per equity share with a face value of ₹1 each for the 2024-25 fiscal year, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM. It also fixed Wednesday, May 28, 2025, as the record date for the same.

Together with the interim dividend of ₹6.50 per share paid on March 7, 2025, ITC’s total dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, will amount to ₹14.35 per share. In FY24, the company’s total dividend stood at ₹13.75 per share.

For FY25, ITC’s total cash outflow on account of dividend, including the interim dividend of ₹8,133.11 crore paid in March, will stand at ₹17,956.69 crore.

On Thursday, the shares of ITC closed in the red at ₹426.10 apiece, down 1.59% on the NSE. However, the FMCG major announced its Q4 results after the market hours.

ITC has a total market capitalisation of ₹5.48 lakh crore as of May 23, 2025, on the NSE.
