Ennis stock (ISIN US2933891028) was last at USD 22.56 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.09 percent for the session and 1.66 percent below its 52-week high of USD 22.94. The latest fiscal quarter combined higher sales with lower reported earnings and a larger shareholder payout.

Sales rise, earnings fall

According to Ennis on September 21, 2026, revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2026 reached USD 102.0 million, compared with USD 98.7 million a year earlier. That 3.3 percent increase was accompanied by GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 0.37, down from USD 0.51 in the prior-year quarter.

The earnings comparison was affected by litigation. The company reported net earnings of USD 9.4 million for the quarter, versus USD 13.2 million a year earlier, while operating income increased to USD 13.6 million from USD 12.4 million.

Cash flow supports the payout

The six-month figures provide a more constructive operating comparison. According to StockTitan in the filing for the period ended August 31, 2026, sales rose to USD 200.6 million from USD 195.9 million. Operating cash flow increased to USD 34.1 million from USD 18.4 million, a USD 15.7 million year-over-year improvement.

Ennis held USD 54.0 million in cash at August 31, 2026 and reported no long-term debt, according to the same filing. The balance sheet gives the dividend decision a measurable cash backing, although quarterly GAAP earnings remain exposed to legal items and raw-material costs.

Dividend date approaches

The board raised the quarterly cash dividend by 5.0 percent from USD 0.25 to USD 0.2625 per share on September 18, 2026, according to Ennis. The dividend is payable on November 6, 2026 to shareholders of record on October 9, 2026.
