Valmont Industries increased its quarterly cash dividend by 13%, raising the payment to $0.77 per share from $0.68. The dividend will be payable on April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 27, 2026, giving an annualized dividend of $3.08.
The hike reflects the company’s disciplined capital allocation framework, which splits operating cash flow 50/50 between growth investments and shareholder returns. The increase aligns with the 2025 framework and follows a history of 47 consecutive years of dividend payments and six successive years of increases.
Valmont’s most recent quarter (Q4 2025, ending February 17 2026) reported earnings per share of $4.92, slightly below analyst consensus of $4.95–$4.96. Revenue of $1.04 billion met expectations. The company guided FY2026 earnings per share to $20.50–$23.50, indicating confidence in continued cash‑flow generation.
CFO Thomas Liguori said the dividend rise “reflects the disciplined execution of the capital allocation priorities we outlined last year. We continue to generate strong cash flow while investing in high‑return growth opportunities and maintaining a strong balance sheet.” The guidance and dividend increase signal management’s confidence in sustaining earnings growth.
Valmont operates through Agriculture and Infrastructure segments. While the fact‑check report does not provide a detailed quarterly segment breakdown, the company’s focus on infrastructure and agriculture initiatives underpins its cash‑flow strength and supports the dividend increase.
