W.W. Grainger (ISIN US3848021040) approved a quarterly cash dividend of USD 2.49 per share on October 28, 2026. According to the W.W. Grainger release, the payment is scheduled for December 1, 2026, for shareholders of record on November 9, 2026.
What the dividend changes
The board decision sets the next cash distribution but does not by itself establish a change from the previous quarterly payment. The company linked the dividend to its long-term value and capital allocation strategy in the October 28 release.
Grainger operates primarily in North America and Japan and serves more than 4.6 million customers with maintenance, repair and operating products. The same release reported 2025 revenue of USD 17.9 billion, giving the dividend announcement a business scale reference.
Why the payment date matters
November 9, 2026 is the record date named by the company, while December 1, 2026 is the payment date. Those dates separate eligibility from the actual cash distribution and are the key calendar points for holders tracking the quarterly payout.
