On Friday, September 12th, Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), a Schedule A Miniratna company under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, will be the subject of attention since its shares will trade ex-dividend. It is announced that Cochin Shipyard will pay a final dividend of Rs 2.25 for FY25, with the ex-date and record date on September 12, 2025; hence, you must own the shares by the end of the trading day on September 11, 2025, in order to be eligible for the dividend.

Cochin Shipyard Dividend

At its meeting on May 15, 2025, the company's board of directors recommended a final dividend of Rs 2.25 per equity share with a face value of Rs 5 for the fiscal year that ended on March 31, 2025.

Cochin Shipyard Dividend Payment Date & Record Date

"The final dividend for the financial year 2024-25, as recommended by the Board of Directors, if approved at the AGM, will be paid, subject to deduction of tax at source, by October 28, 2025 i.e., within 30 days from the date of approval. The Company has fixed Friday, September 12, 2025 as the Record Date for determining entitlement of Members to receive the dividend, if approved at the AGM," said the company in its FY25 annual report.

How To Be Eligible For Dividend?

The Cochin Shipyard shares must have been settled in the investor's demat account by September 12 in order for the investor to be recorded as a shareholder on the company's books on that day.

Given the T+1 settlement cycle, those who have bought Cochin Shipyard shares on Thursday, September 11, 2025, would settle by Friday, September 12, 2025. An investor should have bought the stock on or before Thursday, September 11, 2025, as the last day of business was the crucial eligibility criteria. In contrast, the stock will be trading "ex-dividend" from Friday, September 12, 2025; therefore, an investor purchasing shares on that day will not be eligible for the dividend.

Cochin Shipyard Target Price

" COCHINSHIP is currently reflecting sideways momentum after experiencing a sharp decline from its major support levels. Over the past few sessions, the stock has been consolidating within a narrow range of ₹1,775-₹1,592, which highlights a phase of indecision and neutral sentiment in the market. Such consolidation usually indicates that neither buyers nor sellers have a clear upper hand, and a decisive breakout on either side could set the tone for the next major move," said Amruta Shinde - Research Analyst at Choice Broking.

"On the technical front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly timeframe stands at 40.61, suggesting limited momentum and supporting the view of range-bound trading in the near term. The stock is also trading well below its short-term, medium-term, and long-term moving averages, underlining persistent weakness and a lack of strong buying interest. This further indicates that a sustained recovery will require a stronger shift in sentiment backed by volumes," the analyst added.

"From a downside perspective, a break below the crucial support of ₹1,592 may open the way for further declines toward ₹1,528 and ₹1,493. These levels may serve as accumulation zones if reversal signals appear. On the upside, sustaining above the immediate resistance of ₹1,700 could trigger a bullish reversal, paving the way toward ₹1,775 and ₹1,900. Overall, traders should wait for confirmation, while long-term investors can consider partial accumulation on dips," Amruta Shinde further recommended.
