  • United Spirits (NSE:UNITDSPR) Heads for Ex-Dividend Date in Three Days
    July 3, 2026, 10:55 PM EDT. Investors in United Spirits Limited (NSE:UNITDSPR) have three days left to buy the stock before it trades ex-dividend. To qualify for the ₹11 per share dividend, buyers need to own shares by July 8, with payment set for Sept. 3. The company paid out 71% of earnings as dividends last year, in line with many peers, but its free cash flow payout ratio was 99%, raising some questions on how long the dividend can keep up. Earnings have jumped at a 35% annual rate over five years, but the high cash outflow may put future dividends at risk. Shares are at ₹1393.30 and the trailing yield stands at 1.2%. Investors considering a purchase now should look at both the earnings growth and the risk to future dividends.
