RLI pays a quarterly dividend. Its most recent payment, $0.18 per share, had an ex-date of August 31, 2026 and was paid on September 15, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $4.68 per share including two unusually large payments, a yield of about 8.36% at a share price of $55.97.
The per-share history is not adjusted for splits. With the February 2025 payment, the regular amount moved from $0.29 to $0.15, about half, with the schedule unchanged. That usually points to a share split, so this summary covers payments from then on. Since then the rate has risen twice, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in May: to $0.16 in 2025, up about 6.7%, and to $0.18 in 2026, up 12.5%. Regular payments came to $0.63 in 2025 and $0.68 over the trailing twelve months. There were also unusually large payments of $2.00 per share in November 2025 and May 2026, each sharing an ex-date with a regular payment.
If the pattern holds, the next regular payment would go ex-dividend in late November 2026 and be paid in December. Raises in this period have come with the May payment.
