Pharmaceutical penny stock Fortis Malar Hospitals, which is now trading at less than Rs 75, has gone ex-dividend and will pay out its highest-ever dividend of Rs 40 per share. Additionally, since September 2015, this is the first dividend suggestion. On the BSE, Fortis Malar has gained more than 6,693% in total.

April 23 was Fortis’s ex-dividend date. Because the stock on this particular day froze at its 5% upper circuit limit, there were only buyers in the stock and no sellers. At Rs 71.33 each, it concluded. The market value of the firm is Rs 133.68 crore.

Fortis Malar shares have increased 19% year-to-date (YTD), by around 43.5% in a year, and by approximately 25.58% in five years. However, the all-time increase for Fortis Malar is around 6,693.33%. On July 6, 1999, the stock price was only Rs 1.05 a share.

The board of the company has determined to declare an interim dividend of 400% (based on the face value of Rs. 10 per share). The board determined this amount after considering a number of factors, including the company’s obligations under various agreements, contingencies, and distributable free reserves.

Within 30 days after the date of declaration, the dividend will either be deposited to the shareholders’ accounts or a dividend warrant will be issued in relation to it.

In September 2015, Fortis Malar last paid dividends of Rs 0.50 per share. Prior to that, in 2013, the firm paid a dividend of Rs. 0.50 per share.
