## Dividend summary

| Metric | Value |

| Frequency | quarterly |
| Trailing 12 months | $0.08 |

| Growth streak | — |

Heartland Express pays a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share. Its latest declared payment has an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of September 25, 2026 and is payable on October 7, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.08 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 0.71% at a share price of $11.33.

The record is notably flat. All 20 payments in the table, going back to the one with an ex-date of December 6, 2021, were $0.02 per share. That makes $0.08 in each full calendar year shown, from 2022 through 2025. The table shows no raise or reduction in that period, and the source does not list a growth streak.

The timing is regular too. Payments go ex-dividend in late March, late June and late September, and in December, and are paid about ten to fourteen days later. The December ex-date has moved within the month: it fell in early December from 2021 to 2023 and in the last week of December in 2024 and 2025, with payment in early January. With the September payment already declared, the next one after it would go ex-dividend in December 2026 if the pattern holds, with payment about two weeks later.
