While Zydus Wellness has not conducted any stock splits before, the company has maintained a steady track record of dividend payouts over the years.
Alongside the stock split, the board declared a final dividend of ₹5 per share, continuing its consistent shareholder payout practice. Below is a brief look at Zydus Wellness’ recent dividend history:
