Price vs Dividends
How much of PNB's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 20 years Punjab National Bank's quoted price moved +22.4%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +70.3% — which makes dividends 68% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | +14.4% | +3.3 pts | +17.7% | 19% |
| 3 years | +83.2% | +13.1 pts | +96.3% | 14% |
| 5 years | +214.9% | +34.4 pts | +249.2% | 14% |
| 10 years | -9.5% | +9.9 pts | +0.3% | 100% |
| 15 years | -37.9% | +14.5 pts | -23.4% | — |
| 20 years | +22.4% | +48.0 pts | +70.3% | 68% |
“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 PNB 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 | ₹2,600 | ₹2,350 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹13,000 | ₹11,750 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹26,000 | ₹23,500 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹65,000 | ₹58,750 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹1,30,000 | ₹1,17,500 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 2.4% against 2.6% 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.

PNB dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does PNB pay?+
Punjab National Bank paid ₹3 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 2.60% against the current share price. It has paid in 14 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹41 per share.
What is the dividend yield of PNB?+
PNB's trailing dividend yield is 2.60% — 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 PNB paid dividends consistently?+
Punjab National Bank has paid in 4 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 PNB dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against PNB's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 2.4%, against 2.6% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹23,500 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 PNB's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 20 years PNB's share price moved +22.4% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +70.3% — so dividends account for about 68% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did PNB last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-06-12, at ₹3 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹3 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
