State-run Power Finance Corporation (PFC) reported a consolidated net profit of ₹8,358 crore for the fourth quarter of FY26, marking a 10.6% increase from ₹7,556.4 crore in the same period last year. The strong performance was driven by robust interest earnings and a continued focus on infrastructure financing in the power sector.
PFC’s net interest income (NII) for the quarter surged 41% year-on-year to ₹12,681 crore, compared to ₹8,987.7 crore in Q4FY25, reflecting improved lending margins and higher disbursements.
The board of directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹2.05 per equity share (face value ₹10 each) for FY 2024–25, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is in addition to interim dividends totaling ₹13.75 per share, paid across four tranches during the fiscal year. This brings the total dividend for FY25 to ₹15.80 per share.
The record date for the final dividend has been fixed as Friday, June 13, 2025, and the company confirmed that the payout will be made within 30 days of approval at the AGM.
Despite the strong financial performance, PFC shares have seen short-term volatility, falling 5% over the past month and 7.5% year-to-date (YTD). The stock has dropped 11.5% over the past year. However, long-term investors have been rewarded handsomely: PFC’s share price has jumped 213% in the past two years and soared 556% over five years, making it one of the top-performing PSU stocks.
As India continues to expand its energy infrastructure, PFC remains a key player in financing the country’s power sector growth, with a strong focus on renewable energy and sustainable power projects.
