quarterly dividend financial

"declared the Company’s 325th consecutive quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.3350 per common share"

A quarterly dividend is a payment a company gives to its shareholders four times a year, usually as a share of its profits. It's like getting a small bonus every few months for owning the company's stock, which can provide a steady income. Investors watch these payments to see how well a company is doing and whether it’s a good investment.

stockholders of record financial

"payable on May 22, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 11, 2026"

Stockholders of record are the people or entities whose names appear on a company's official shareholder list on a specific cutoff date set by the company or its transfer agent; only those listed are entitled to receive dividends, vote at shareholder meetings, or participate in other corporate actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: being on the list on the set day determines who gets the benefits and rights, so investors must own shares before the cutoff to qualify.
