Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (CBRL) dividend history and yield

Cracker Barrel pays a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. Its next payment is already declared, with an ex-date of October 16, 2026 and a pay date of November 12, 2026. The most recent paid dividend went ex-dividend on July 17, 2026 and was paid on August 12, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.00 per share, a yield of about 1.78% at a share price of $56.32.

The record has two distinct stretches. From early 2022 through the April 2024 payment, the dividend was $1.30 per quarter, and payments by calendar year were $5.20 in both 2022 and 2023. Starting with the July 2024 payment, the rate became $0.25 per quarter, about 81% lower. It has stayed at $0.25 for every payment since, including the one now declared. Payments by calendar year were $3.10 in 2024, a mix of both rates, and $1.00 in 2025. The table shows no raise in either stretch.

Ex-dates fall in the middle of January, April, July and October, and payment follows about four weeks later. If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in mid-January 2027 and be paid in mid-February.
