National HealthCare Corporation (ISIN US6359061008) declared a USD 0.67 quarterly dividend for National HealthCare stock in an October 4, 2026 filing reported by StockTitan. The payment is scheduled for October 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2026.

Dividend sets the near-term date

The quarterly payment annualizes to USD 2.68 per share, while the record date has already passed. MarketBeat reported the dividend terms and a 1.20 percent indicated yield in September 2026.

The payout gives the stock an income component, but the operating figures remain the larger test of valuation. National HealthCare's latest quarterly revenue was USD 408.03 million, compared with USD 381.82 million in the prior quarter.

Revenue growth supports the operating case

Revenue therefore increased 6.86 percent quarter over quarter in the second quarter of 2026. Net income reached USD 40.32 million, up 12.46 percent from USD 35.86 million in the prior quarter, according to Investing.com.

That combination matters because earnings growth exceeded revenue growth over the two reported quarters. The comparison points to improved profit conversion, although a single quarter does not establish a long-term margin trend.

Market value and yearly range

National HealthCare had a market capitalization of USD 3.6 billion on October 5, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 116.42 to USD 239.29, placing the latest structured market value below the yearly high by 3.72 percent.

The company operates 80 skilled nursing centers, 26 assisted living communities, 9 retirement communities, 3 behavioral health hospitals, 30 hospice agencies and 34 homecare agencies, according to its National HealthCare investor-relations page. The company is listed as NYSEAMERICAN: NHC, linking the dividend story to a broad post-acute care platform rather than a single facility category.
