Price vs Dividends
How much of CIPLA's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 20 years Cipla Ltd.'s quoted price moved +467.0%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +549.1% — which makes dividends 15% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -10.4% | +0.8 pts | -9.6% | — |
| 3 years | +13.2% | +3.3 pts | +16.4% | 20% |
| 5 years | +50.2% | +6.3 pts | +56.5% | 11% |
| 10 years | +148.4% | +19.3 pts | +167.8% | 12% |
| 15 years | +407.1% | +49.5 pts | +456.7% | 11% |
| 20 years | +467.0% | +82.1 pts | +549.1% | 15% |
“Dividends added” is in percentage points of total return, with dividends treated as reinvested at the time they were paid — which is why it compounds and grows faster than the raw cash paid out. “From dividends” is shown only where the total return was positive; against a loss it would be a share of a negative number and would mean nothing.

Grouped by calendar year rather than financial year, because that is how the ex-dates arrive in the data. A year with an unusually large figure often contains a special dividend rather than a raised regular one.
Dividend Income
What CIPLA would pay on your holding
Based on the last twelve months of declared dividends. A company can cut or raise its payout at any time, so this is a record of what it recently paid, not an income you can count on.
| Invested | A year at today's price | If you had bought 10 years ago |
|---|---|---|
| ₹1.00L | ₹910 | ₹2,270 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹4,550 | ₹11,350 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹9,100 | ₹22,700 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹22,750 | ₹56,750 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹45,500 | ₹1,13,500 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 2.3% against 0.9% today. It is what a long holder is actually earning, and it is the reason a low headline yield on a growing payer is not the whole story.

CIPLA dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does CIPLA pay?+
Cipla Ltd. paid ₹13 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 0.91% against the current share price. It has paid in 21 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹95 per share.
What is the dividend yield of CIPLA?+
CIPLA's trailing dividend yield is 0.91% — the last twelve months of declared dividends divided by the current share price. Yield moves inversely with the price, so a falling share price raises the yield without the company paying a rupee more. That is why the payout record below matters more than the headline number.
Has CIPLA paid dividends consistently?+
Cipla Ltd. has paid in 20 consecutive years, counting back from the last complete calendar year. A streak is a better guide to a company's intent than a single year's yield, which can be inflated by a one-off special dividend. It is still a record of the past — a payout can be cut at any time, and several long-running Indian payers have done exactly that.
What would CIPLA dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against CIPLA's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 2.3%, against 0.9% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹22,700 a year at the current payout. That gap is what a growing dividend does over time, and it is invisible in the headline yield.
How much of CIPLA's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 20 years CIPLA's share price moved +467.0% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +549.1% — so dividends account for about 15% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did CIPLA last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-06-05, at ₹13 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹13 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
