Acuity pays a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. Its next payment, at that rate, has already been declared, with an ex-date of October 16, 2026 and a pay date of November 2, 2026. The payment before it went ex-dividend on July 17, 2026 and was paid on August 3, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.77 per share, a yield of about 0.25% at a share price of $303.53.

The record shows a regular annual rhythm. The rate was $0.13 through 2022 and 2023. Since then, Acuity has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in early February. The rate went to $0.15 in 2024, $0.17 in 2025 and $0.20 in 2026. Those raises were two or three cents, or roughly 13% to 18%. Since 2023, the quarterly rate has grown about 54%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.52 in 2023 to $0.68 in 2025. The source gives a growth streak of two years.

After the declared October payment, the next one would go ex-dividend in early February 2027 and be paid in mid-February, if the pattern holds. That is the payment past raises have come with.
