Cincinnati Financial said its board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 94 cents per share, payable Oct. 15, 2026, to shareholders of record Sept. 23, 2026.

The company said this October payment extends its streak to 66 consecutive years of increasing annual cash dividends. That record is described by the company as one matched by only seven other publicly traded U.S. companies.

President and CEO Stephen M. Spray said the company’s financial strength remains “in excellent shape,” and linked that strength to its ability to keep executing on profitable growth plans in its insurance operations and to continue rewarding shareholders. Following these announcements, the company's shares moved 0.06%, and are now trading at a price of $168.29. Check out the company's full 8-K submission here.
