Marathon Petroleum's board declared a higher quarterly dividend on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, lifting the payment to USD 1.10 per common share from USD 1.00. The company said the increase is 10 percent. The terms were carried in a Yahoo Finance report carrying the PR Newswire release.

Payment Dates Set For Shareholders

The new dividend is payable on Thursday, December 10, 2026. The record date is Wednesday, November 18, meaning investors must be recorded as shareholders at the close of business that day to receive the declared payment.

The change increases the cash distribution attached to each quarterly payment. For income-oriented investors, the key near-term facts are the higher per-share amount and the fixed record and payment dates. The announcement changes the scheduled cash return but does not itself provide a new earnings forecast or operating outlook.

Cash Return Meets Operating Test

The dividend decision gives shareholders a clearer view of the next distribution cycle before the company provides its next business update. Marathon Petroleum operates refining, marketing and midstream activities, so the sustainability of future distributions remains linked to operating performance and cash generation across those businesses.
