SONATSOFTWDividend History & Yield

Sonata Software Ltd. paid ₹8 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 2.59% against the current share price. It has paid in 21 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹73 per share.

SONATSOFTW's trailing dividend yield is 2.59% — 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.

Sonata Software 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.

Today's dividend measured against SONATSOFTW's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 13.7%, against 2.6% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹1,36,800 a year at the current payout. That gap is what a growing dividend does over time, and it is invisible in the headline yield.

Over the last 20 years SONATSOFTW's share price moved +2710.6% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +6222.5% — so dividends account for about 56% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.

The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-08-14, at ₹1 per share. In 2026 it has paid 3 times, totalling ₹7 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
