Cummins Inc (CMI) has declared a dividend of $2.00 per share, payable to shareholders of record. This quarterly dividend reflects the company's commitment to returning value to its investors.
The ex-dividend date is set for November 20, 2025, meaning investors must own shares before this date to be eligible for the dividend. The payment will be made on December 3, 2025, to those entitled shareholders. Currently, Cummins boasts a dividend yield of 1.69%, indicative of the annual dividend income relative to its stock price.
As a prominent player in the machinery industry, Cummins engages in the design, manufacture, and distribution of various powertrains and related components, including diesel, natural gas, electric, and hybrid technologies. The company, headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, employs approximately 69,600 full-time staff and operates across several segments, including Components, Engine, Distribution, Power Systems, and Accelera.
The move underscores Cummins' ongoing strategy of providing regular income to shareholders. Investors typically consider dividend announcements as a reflection of a company's cash flow generation and capital allocation strategy. While regular dividend payments can be appealing to income-focused investors, it is essential to note that dividends are not guaranteed and may change based on business performance and management decisions.
