Simply Wall St · 3d ago

Bank OZK (OZK) has approved a higher quarterly cash dividend of $0.49 per common share, representing a 2.08% increase and marking the bank’s 65th consecutive quarterly dividend raise.

Recent trading suggests some investors are cautious. The 30 day share price return is down 4.22% and the 90 day move is lower by 7.02%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 41.62% points to stronger gains over a longer window. Momentum has been fading even as Bank OZK continues its long dividend increase streak and prepares to release third quarter 2026 results later this month.
