Equity Capital Markets Analyst

One-time cash return: $0.13 per share with near-term dates.

HeartCore Enterprises announced a special dividend of $0.13 per share, set by the Board. Eligibility hinges on being a holder of record on November 10, 2025, with the payment expected on November 17, 2025.

As a one-time event, the dividend signals a discrete return of cash rather than an ongoing policy. The filing does not discuss recurring dividends or capital allocation beyond this distribution.

Key mechanics are straightforward: per-share amount, record date, and expected payment date. Actual impact on liquidity and future capital uses is not addressed in the excerpt.
