Quad/Graphics (NYSE: QUAD) has increased its quarterly dividend by 33%, raising the payment from $0.075 to $0.10 per share. The new dividend will be paid on March 13, 2026 to shareholders of record as of February 27, 2026, boosting the annualized dividend to $0.40 per share.
The decision follows a period of improving cash‑flow generation and a strong balance‑sheet profile. In Q3 2025, the company posted net sales of $588 million, down 13% from $675 million in Q3 2024, but it also turned a $25 million net loss in Q3 2024 into a $10 million net profit in Q3 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 19% from $0.26 in 2024 to $0.31 in 2025, and the dividend payout ratio of 28.6% indicates that the increase is comfortably covered by earnings.
Quad/Graphics continues to invest in its marketing‑experience platform, AI‑powered tools, data and audience‑intelligence services, and the In‑Store Connect retail‑media network. These initiatives are intended to diversify revenue streams and support future growth while maintaining a disciplined capital‑allocation strategy. The company’s debt‑to‑equity ratio of 4.49 and its focus on low debt leverage reinforce its capacity to fund both growth and shareholder returns.
Chairman, President and CEO Joel Quadracci said, 'As we execute our strategy, we remain focused on strengthening our financial position and creating long‑term shareholder value. This dividend increase reflects our confidence in Quad’s continued cash‑flow generation and disciplined capital‑allocation strategy, including our ability to invest for growth, maintain low debt leverage, and provide strong shareholder returns. We also expect to remain opportunistic with future share repurchases.'
Quad/Graphics is scheduled to report its Q4 2025 earnings on February 17, 2026, with analysts projecting earnings per share of $0.37 and revenue of $632.90 million. The company’s ongoing investments and solid cash‑flow position position it to sustain the higher dividend while pursuing growth opportunities.
