Carlisle Companies Raises Quarterly Dividend 13.64%

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE: CSL) raised its quarterly dividend to $1.25 per share from $1.10, an increase of 13.64%. The industrial company’s shares had an ex-dividend date of Aug. 19, 2026.

The new rate represents an annualized dividend of $5 per share. Based on a share price of $367.68, the forward annual yield is 1.36%.

The increase extends Carlisle’s dividend-growth streak to 38 consecutive years, according to the supplied dividend data. The company’s dividend carries a safety score of 94 out of 100 and an A safety grade.

Carlisle described the increase as reflecting the durability of its business model and its emphasis on cash generation and shareholder returns. Chair, President and Chief Executive Chris Koch said the company has maintained its focus on returns on invested capital and capital allocation while transforming its portfolio into a pure-play building-products business.

The dividend increase followed a strong second quarter. Carlisle reported record revenue of $1.6 billion, up 8% from a year earlier, while adjusted earnings per share rose 12% to $7.03.

Those results provide context for the board’s decision, though dividend payments remain subject to future board approval and business conditions.

What it means for income investors

At the new quarterly rate, shareholders receive $5 per share on an annualized basis, assuming the dividend remains unchanged. The 1.36% forward yield is modest compared with many income-oriented equities, making the 13.64% increase and 38-year growth record more prominent features of the dividend profile than current yield alone. The A safety grade indicates a comparatively strong assessment under the supplied scoring methodology, but it does not guarantee future payments.
