Werner Enterprises pays a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share. Its latest declared payment has an ex-date of October 5, 2026 and a pay date of October 21, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.56 per share, a yield of about 1.71% at a share price of $32.81.
The rate has risen in one-cent steps. It was $0.12 at the start of 2022, went to $0.13 with the July 2022 payment, about 8.3% higher, and to $0.14 with the June 2023 payment, about 7.7% higher. Since then, thirteen payments in a row, including the one now declared, have been $0.14. That is $0.56 a year at the current rate. Since the start of 2022, the quarterly rate has grown about 17%. The source does not give a growth streak, and there has been no change in more than three years.
Ex-dates fall around the start of January, April, July and October, with payment about two to three weeks later. Some year-end ex-dates land in late December, 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 around January 20.
