The increase of $0.10 per share is the 45th consecutive annual rise in the insurer's regular dividend, the company said.
Old Republic's 2026 total equals four quarterly payments of 31.5 cents
By our calculation, $1.26 divided by four quarters is exactly 31.5 cents. If the total consists only of regular quarterly payments, the first three 2026 payments also averaged 31.5 cents. The 2025 total of $1.16 works out to an average of 29 cents per quarter, so the new quarterly rate is about 8.6% above that average.
For a holder of 1,000 shares, the fourth-quarter payment amounts to $315. Dividends for the full year come to $1,260, against $1,160 in 2025, a difference of $100.
The company also says 2026 is its 85th year of uninterrupted regular dividend payments.
