Willis Lease Finance pays a quarterly dividend. Its most recent payment, $0.13 per share, had an ex-date of August 11, 2026 and was paid on August 21, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.33 per share, a yield of about 3.11% at a share price of $42.85.
The record is short and the amounts have changed several times. The oldest payment in the table, $1.00 per share in May 2024, is unusually large compared with the rest. After it came five payments of $0.25, from August 2024 to August 2025. The rate was $0.40 for the next three payments, from November 2025 to May 2026, 60% above $0.25. The August 2026 payment was $0.13, about a third of the $0.40 before it. The source does not give a growth streak, and 2025 is the only complete calendar year in the table.
Ex-dates have fallen around the 11th to 17th of February, May, August and November, with payment about ten days later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid in late November. With only one payment at $0.13 so far, the table does not yet show whether that amount repeats.
