Why 185% Dividend is Rs. 9.25 and not Rs. 18.5 per Share
At first glance, seeing a 185% cash dividend makes it sound like you are getting Rs. 18.50 per share (185% of Rs. 10). However, on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), dividend percentages are always calculated based on a share’s Face Value (also known as Par Value), not its market price or face value of every company.
1. The Face Value Factor
For most companies listed on the PSX, the face value of a share is Rs. 10. But for Dynea Pakistan Limited (DYNO), the face value of each share is Rs. 5.00.
Since dividend percentages apply directly to the share’s face value:
Dividend per Share = Face Value x Dividend Percentage
Dividend per Share = Rs. 5.00 x 185% = Rs. 9.25
Because the base value is Rs. 5.00 instead of Rs. 10.00, a 185% payout comes out to Rs. 9.25 per share, exactly half of Rs. 18.50.
2. Percentage vs. Market Price Yield
New investors often make two common misinterpretations when reading dividend announcements:
- Assuming Face Value is always Rs. 10: While Rs. 10 is the standard for many companies, several firms have face values of Rs. 5 or other amounts. Always check the company’s face value in its financial reports or listing details.
- Confusing Dividend % with Dividend Yield: A 185% dividend does not mean you get a 185% return on the money you spent buying the stock. If DYNO is trading at Rs. 324.96 per share, your actual return on investment (Dividend Yield) for this payout is:
$$\text{Dividend Yield} = \frac{\text{Rs. 9.25}}{\text{Rs. 324.96}} \approx 2.85\%$$
Key Takeaways for New Investors
- Face Value (Par Value): The nominal value of a share printed on the company’s corporate charter (usually Rs. 10 or Rs. 5 in Pakistan). Dividend percentages are calculated using this number.
- Market Price: The actual price at which a share buys and sells on the stock exchange (e.g., Rs. 324.96).
- Dividend Yield: The actual cash return percentage you get based on the current market price of the stock.
