Ennis, Inc. stock (ISIN US2933401057) closed at USD 21.34 on Nasdaq on September 16, 2026, up 0.23% from the prior close according to data from a major US stock portal. The specialty printing company is expected to release its next quarterly earnings on September 21, 2026, and continues to offer an annual dividend of USD 1.00 per share, corresponding to a yield of about 4.7% based on recent prices, per an overview dated September 17, 2026.
Dividend yield stands out in income screens
Income-oriented investors currently see Ennis, Inc. stock flagged as a high-yield name in several dividend screenings. As Simply Wall St reported on September 17, 2026, Ennis appears in a list of top US dividend stocks with a dividend yield of 4.69% and a strong internal dividend rating. A second feature on dividend quality from Simply Wall St also highlights Ennis with the same 4.69% yield figure, reinforcing the picture of a stable income profile.
Based on the USD 1.00 forward annual dividend per share reported in a price and fundamentals snapshot dated September 17, 2026, the indicated yield around 4.7% implies that the stock price used for that calculation was close to USD 21.30. Compared with lower yields in broad US indices, a near-4.7% yield positions Ennis in the upper tier of income-paying industrial names, which explains its repeated appearance in dividend-focused screens. Historically, the company has maintained regular dividend payments, and the current forward dividend level ties directly into investor expectations for steady cash distributions in the upcoming quarters.
Upcoming earnings date and balance sheet context
As of a recent quote overview updated on September 17, 2026, the estimated earnings date for Ennis is set for September 21, 2026, giving investors a near-term catalyst for the stock. According to Yahoo Finance, the forward dividend of USD 1.00 per share and a yield of 4.70% are accompanied by an ex-dividend date of July 10, 2026, indicating that the most recent dividend distribution was tied to that July record date. For investors, that date serves as a reference point for the company’s regular payout rhythm and supports the expectation of continued distributions following the upcoming earnings release.
On the balance sheet side, an updated accounts payable overview for Ennis indicates moderate year-on-year growth in short-term obligations. According to an analysis published by Eulerpool on September 17, 2026, accounts payable in fiscal year 2026 stand at USD 14.29 million, compared with USD 13.80 million in 2025. That represents an increase of 3.57% year on year, a modest rise that suggests the company’s supplier-related liabilities are growing broadly in line with business activity rather than signaling a sharp deterioration in working capital.
Stock valuation and trading metrics
The latest closing price of USD 21.34 on September 16, 2026, places Ennis, Inc. stock in a range where the indicated forward dividend yield of about 4.7% remains intact. Per the same price snapshot, the stock’s performance metrics show that Ennis has delivered a positive return over the recent period, with a figure of around 22.97% mentioned for one performance horizon and 23.65% for another, underscoring that shareholders have seen double-digit percentage gains alongside the cash income component. Even without precise period labels, these performance numbers illustrate that total return from Ennis has been meaningfully above the dividend yield alone, combining capital appreciation with payouts.
Beyond the headline yield and performance, Ennis, Inc. is typically viewed as a smaller-cap industrial and business services company within the US equity landscape. Market capitalization data from the same quote provider around mid-September 2026 place the company in the lower end of the mid-cap or upper small-cap band, reflecting its role as a niche player rather than a large integrated industrial group. Trading volume figures from the Nasdaq quote indicate a normal liquidity profile for a company of its size, with daily share turnover clearly sufficient for retail investors and many institutional strategies, though not at the level of mega-cap stocks.
