Simmons First National Increases Quarterly Dividend to $0.215
Number: With a payment of $0.215 per share, Simmons First National Corporation is extending a historic streak of shareholder returns. The quarterly cash dividend, payable October 1, 2026, marks a 1 percent increase over the same period last year and reinforces the firm’s status as a long-term financial performer.
The Pine Bluff-based financial holding company, which trades under the ticker SFNC, has maintained cash dividends for 117 consecutive years. This latest adjustment brings the annualized rate to $0.86, reflecting a ten-year compound annual growth rate of 6 percent. According to Dividend Power, Simmons is among a select group of only 27 U.S. publicly traded companies to sustain such payouts for over a century.
Beyond its longevity, the firm has secured its 15th consecutive year of dividend increases, earning the designation of a "Dividend Contender." Data from August 9, 2026, indicates that Simmons is one of only 322 companies out of nearly 6,000 listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ to reach this milestone. While the board of directors remains committed to this track record, future payments remain subject to board approval and broader market conditions.
