Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE: AGO) announced a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per common share, a 12 % increase from the $0.34 dividend declared on November 5, 2025. The dividend will be payable on March 20, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 6, 2026.
The 12 % hike continues a long‑term pattern of annual dividend growth. Assured Guaranty has raised its dividend every year for the last seven years and has maintained a consistent increase since 2012, underscoring the company’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
The dividend decision is underpinned by strong financial performance. In Q3 2025 the company posted record highs in shareholders’ equity and adjusted book value per share, and saw a resurgence in triple‑B municipal issuance. With a current payout ratio of 19.2 % and an expected future ratio of 20.9 %, the dividend is comfortably covered by earnings, reflecting confidence in ongoing profitability.
Assured Guaranty operates through its Insurance and Asset Management segments. The company recently completed the acquisition of Warwick Re Limited for approximately $158 million, entering the annuity reinsurance market under the new name Assured Life Reinsurance Ltd. This expansion complements its core credit‑protection business and supports future dividend sustainability.
The company will report its full‑year and fourth‑quarter 2025 results on February 26, 2026, with a conference call scheduled for February 27. Management has emphasized a focus on shareholder value, record equity metrics, and strong new‑business production, signaling continued confidence in the company’s financial health and dividend policy.
