Insights

Corporate actions analyst

Buyback authorization expanded and dividend maintained; execution drives impact.

Crawford & Company increased its share repurchase authorization by two million shares and extended the program to December 31, 2027. Authorizations permit but do not require repurchases; the effect on share count and per‑share metrics depends on future buyback activity and pricing.

The Board also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share for both Class A and Class B, with a record date of November 19, 2025 and payment on December 5, 2025. As of October 30, 2025, 634,920 shares remained under the prior authorization, framing the scale of the added capacity.

Potential outcomes hinge on subsequent repurchase volumes and timing; the filing does not specify execution pace or total cash outlay. Future disclosures may detail completed repurchases and aggregate cash used.
