Washington Trust pays a quarterly dividend of $0.56 per share. Its latest declared payment has an ex-date of October 1, 2026 and a pay date of October 9, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $2.24 per share, a yield of about 5.86% at a share price of $38.22.
The rate has been flat for most of the table. It was $0.54 per quarter from late 2021 through September 2022, then rose to $0.56 with the payment that went ex-dividend on December 30, 2022, an increase of about 3.7%. Every payment since then, sixteen in all including the one now declared, has been $0.56. That works out to $2.24 a year at the current rate. The source does not give a growth streak.
Ex-dates fall around the turn of each quarter, at the end of March, June, September and December or the first days of the following month, with payment about one to two weeks later. Some ex-dates land on December 29 to 31 and others on January 2, so calendar-year totals by ex-date are uneven. If the pattern holds, the payment after the one now declared would go ex-dividend in early January 2027 and be paid in mid-January.
