Bank OZK pays a quarterly dividend, now $0.49 per share. The next payment is already declared: it goes ex-dividend on October 13, 2026 and is payable on October 20, 2026. The payment before it, $0.48 per share, had an ex-date of July 13, 2026 and was paid on July 20, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.86 per share, a yield of about 4.14% at a share price of $44.98.
The record is unusual in its regularity. Bank OZK has raised its dividend by one cent with every payment in the table, 19 raises in a row. The rate went from $0.30 in January 2022 to $0.49 with the October 2026 payment, an increase of about 63%. Because each step is the same one cent, the percentage size of each raise has slowly shrunk, from about 3.3% to about 2.1%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.26 in 2022 to $1.42 in 2023, $1.58 in 2024 and $1.74 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in mid-January 2027 and be paid about a week later.
