- Grainger's board approved a quarterly cash dividend of USD 2.49 per share on October 28, 2026.
- Shareholders of record on November 9 are scheduled to receive the payment on December 1, 2026.
- The dividend announcement sets the next cash-return timetable without signaling a change in payout policy.
W.W. Grainger's board approved a quarterly cash dividend of USD 2.49 per share on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The company's official press release sets November 9 as the record date and December 1 as the payment date.
Two Dates Shape The Dividend
The record date determines which shareholders qualify for the distribution. The payment date marks when Grainger plans to send the cash, so investors should treat the two dates as separate milestones rather than one settlement event.
The announcement links the dividend to Grainger's long-term shareholder-return policy and disciplined capital allocation strategy. It establishes the next quarterly payment but does not state a change to the existing payout policy or compare the amount with the previous quarterly distribution.
What Changed Since The Latest Report
W.W. Grainger stock traded at EUR 1,218.00 on Lang & Schwarz at 17:02:08 Berlin time on Friday, October 30, 2026.
