| Nov 19 | CSR initiative | Positive | -2.0% | Donation of 402 HVAC units through Feel The Love program. |

Recent earnings and acquisition news often saw negative price reactions, while dividend announcements and this latest dividend-related item tended to see modestly positive or muted moves.
Over the last few months, Lennox reported Q3 2025 results with $1.4 billion revenue and updated guidance, which coincided with a -10.19% reaction. Strategic expansion continued with the $550 million NSI HVAC division acquisition and its completion, both met with slight weakness. Corporate philanthropy via the Feel The Love program had limited impact. Today’s dividend declaration and annual meeting scheduling follow a pattern of routine capital return and governance updates alongside ongoing strategic execution.
