Universal Display Corporation increased its quarterly cash dividend to $0.50 per share, an 11% rise from the previous $0.45 per share. The dividend will be paid on March 31, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2026.
The dividend hike follows a strong Q4 2025 earnings report in which the company posted record revenue of $172.9 million, up 6.4% from $162.3 million in Q4 2024, and net income of $66.3 million, up 44% from $46 million in the prior year. GAAP earnings per share of $1.39 beat the consensus estimate of $1.28, reflecting disciplined cost management and a favorable mix of high‑margin OLED material sales.
Management cited confidence in continued cash‑flow generation as the basis for the dividend increase. Universal Display has raised its dividend for eight consecutive years, underscoring a long‑term commitment to returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a solid cash‑flow profile. The company’s 2026 revenue guidance of $650–$700 million, slightly above the $650.6 million reported for full‑year 2025, signals management’s expectation of steady demand in the OLED market.
The dividend increase signals financial health and a stable growth trajectory. By raising the payout while maintaining a robust earnings base, Universal Display reinforces its position as a reliable dividend payer in the semiconductor and display materials sector, providing investors with a tangible return that aligns with the company’s cash‑flow outlook.
