RPM International Inc. announced at its annual meeting of stockholders that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.275 per share, payable on October 30, 2015, to stockholders of record as of October 19, 2015. This payment represents a 5.8 percent increase over the $0.26 quarterly cash dividend paid at this time last year.
This action marks RPM’s 42nd consecutive year of increased cash dividends paid to its stockholders, which places RPM in an elite category of less than half of 1 percent of all 19,000 publicly-traded U.S. companies. Only 45 other companies, besides RPM, have consecutively paid an increasing annual dividend for this period of time or longer, according to the 2015 spring edition of the Mergent Handbook of Dividend Achievers. At a share price of $43.50, RPM's dividend yield would be 2.5 percent.
