Merchants Bancorp has increased its quarterly common dividend by 10 percent, raising the per-share payout to $0.11. The increase reflects the financial institution's confidence in its earnings capacity and shareholder return strategy. In addition to the common dividend raise, the company declared quarterly preferred dividends across multiple series.
The common dividend will be distributed on April 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 13, 2026. The preferred dividends will follow the company's standard payment schedule for those security classes. The dividend increase represents the company's commitment to delivering consistent returns to equity holders while maintaining its capital management objectives.
This action is consistent with Merchants Bancorp's historical approach to shareholder distributions and indicates management's outlook on the company's operational performance and capital position heading into 2026.
