Farmers & Merchants Bancorp approved a total third-quarter dividend of USD 0.25 per share on September 29, 2026, combining a regular USD 0.24 payment with a USD 0.01 special dividend. The company said the regular payout represents a 4.30 percent increase from the prior dividend payment, giving the dividend announcement a concrete shareholder-return focus.

What does the dividend add?

According to Farmers & Merchants Bancorp on September 29, 2026, the regular quarterly dividend reached USD 0.24 per share and the special payment lifted the total to USD 0.25. The board set October 20, 2026, as the payment date for shareholders of record on October 9, 2026.

The regular dividend increase extends the bank's record to 32 consecutive annual increases, according to the same company release. The special payment is tied to America's 250th anniversary, while the recurring dividend remains the more relevant measure for evaluating the bank's ongoing capital distribution.

Three recent company milestones

GetSignal lists diluted earnings per share of USD 0.70 for the first quarter of 2026 on April 22, 2026, followed by USD 0.86 for the second quarter reported on July 27, 2026. The same second-quarter record shows revenue of USD 34.40 million, compared with USD 33.00 million expected.

The chronology points to improving quarterly earnings per share from USD 0.70 to USD 0.86 before the dividend decision. That sequence gives the payout announcement an operating reference, although the dividend itself is a capital-allocation decision rather than a forecast for future earnings.

Upcoming dates for shareholders

The dividend payment is scheduled for October 20, 2026, following the October 9 record date. GetSignal lists October 26, 2026, as the next earnings date, placing the next quarterly update six days after the scheduled dividend payment.
