Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC) has recently committed to significant investments and strategic initiatives that could influence its dividend profile. The board approved a USD 78.31 million investment in a subsidiary for acquiring shares in Sun Mobility Pte. Ltd., alongside setting the record date for the 2023-24 final dividend, reflecting ongoing financial commitments. Additionally, IOC's collaboration with SJVN Limited to form a joint venture focusing on renewable projects highlights its strategic shift towards sustainable energy solutions. Despite these positive developments, it is crucial to note that IOC's dividends have shown volatility over the past decade, and earnings are projected to decline by an average of 29.6% annually over the next three years, potentially impacting future dividend sustainability despite current coverage by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 39.6% and 56.8%, respectively.
