Rush Enterprises Investors Get More Shares, Higher Payout

Rush Enterprises is implementing a three-for-two stock split for both its Class A and Class B common stock. This dividend-in-kind stock split is scheduled to be paid on August 31, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2026.

Shareholders will receive one additional share for every two they hold. This action will significantly increase the number of outstanding shares for both classes of common stock. It follows a satisfactory Q2 earnings report, with revenues meeting expectations and earnings per share exceeding them.

In conjunction with the stock split, Rush Enterprises' Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share for both Class A and Class B common stock. This dividend is payable on September 24, 2026, to shareholders of record as of September 9, 2026.

This marks a 10.5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend for shareholders after the stock split, compared to the previous quarter's payout. This dividend increase is the tenth such adjustment since the company began its quarterly cash dividend payments in July 2018, underscoring its dedication to shareholder returns.
