Oil-Dri Extends Dividend Growth Streak and Announces Share Buyback Plan Oil-Dri Corporation of America increased its quarterly cash dividend per share by 2 cents for both Common and Class B stock, which the company says is about a 10% rise.
This marks the 23rd consecutive year of dividend growth for Oil-Dri.
The Board of Directors also approved the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock, in addition to the shares already authorized for buyback.
A longer dividend growth streak combined with a fresh buyback authorization indicates a continued focus on returning capital to shareholders through both income and potential reduction of share count.
You should still weigh these capital return moves against Oil-Dri’s earnings, cash flow and balance sheet trends, which are not detailed here, to assess how sustainable this approach might be for your own time horizon. Announcement • Jun 04
