Gruma (ISIN MXP4948K1056) had an MXN 80.3 billion market capitalization on October 6, 2026, while its stock stood 31.98 percent below its 52-week high of MXN 351.85. The company is scheduled to go ex-dividend on October 8, 2026, with shareholders of record set to receive USD 0.07882 per share on October 9, according to Moomoo News.
Dividend date sets the near-term event
The ex-dividend schedule gives Gruma a defined shareholder milestone in October. The USD 0.07882 distribution is the concrete cash return attached to the event, while the October 8 ex-dividend date determines which investors qualify for the payment.
Second-quarter margin pressure
Gruma's second-quarter 2026 net sales increased 3.00 percent year over year, but sales volume declined 1.00 percent as weakness in the United States food-service business offset growth in Europe, Asia and Oceania, and Central America, according to Miranda Intelligence.
The same report said EBITDA declined 5.00 percent and the EBITDA margin contracted to 16.80 percent. Finvaulta, summarizing a UBS report dated September 9, 2026, put second-quarter net revenue at USD 1.65 billion and EBITDA at USD 277.00 million, down 4.50 percent year over year, with a 16.80 percent margin.
Stock remains below its yearly high
On October 6, 2026, Gruma's primary BMV quotation was MXN 239.32, versus a previous close of MXN 236.78, a daily increase of 1.07 percent. Its 52-week range was MXN 225.08 to MXN 351.85, placing the latest quote 31.98 percent below the high and 6.33 percent above the low.
The figures frame a mixed investor picture: the dividend supplies a dated cash-return event, while the second-quarter comparison shows top-line growth alongside weaker volume and profitability. The packaged-foods group therefore enters the dividend date with operating pressure visible in the margin and earnings data.
Dividend event meets operating pressure
Gruma's October dividend date and its second-quarter margin contraction point to two different near-term signals. The cash distribution is fixed at USD 0.07882 per share, while the 16.80 percent EBITDA margin shows how higher distribution and marketing expenses offset sales growth.
