Dividend information about Caleres: Key Details Ahead of Ex-Dividend Date on Sep 12, 2025

Caleres (CAL) has set its ex-dividend date for Sep 12, 2025, with the dividend payment scheduled for Sep 26, 2025. Shareholders of record as of this date will receive $0.07000000 per share. This amount is lower than the average of the company’s last 10 dividend payments, which stood at $0.09233333. The most recent prior dividend was announced on Jun 20, 2025, with the same $0.07000000 per share payout, also a cash dividend. The company’s latest dividend announcement occurred on Aug 28, 2025, underscoring its consistent, albeit reduced, payout pattern. Investors considering participation must ensure ownership before the ex-dividend date, as purchases after Sep 12, 2025, will not qualify for this dividend distribution.

Over the past week, Caleres has faced notable market volatility due to its Q2 2025 earnings performance, which highlighted challenges stemming from declining sales and margin pressures. Net sales for the quarter fell 3.6% to $658.5 million, with both the Brand Portfolio and Famous Footwear segments recording declines of 3.5% and 4.9%, respectively. Analysts indicated that gross margin dipped to 43.4%, a 210 basis point decline year-over-year, primarily due to tariff disruptions and increased promotional activity. Despite these headwinds, the company reported double-digit e-commerce growth at Famous Footwear and expanded its Flair store format, contributing to a 3-point sales lift in fiscal Q2.

Recent developments also include the completion of the Stuart Weitzman acquisition, funded by $120 million in borrowings. The acquisition is expected to add strategic value through operational synergies and long-term cost savings, though short-term integration costs and debt servicing pressures remain. Management emphasized ongoing efforts to mitigate tariff impacts, streamline operations, and enhance direct-to-consumer channels. While the company refrained from issuing annual guidance due to ongoing uncertainties, it noted sequential improvement in sales trends and a stronger performance in key categories such as boots and fashion footwear.

As of late, Caleres shares have reflected this mixed performance, with investors weighing near-term challenges against strategic initiatives. The recent earnings report and subsequent market reaction have led to heightened attention on the company’s ability to stabilize its margins and drive long-term value. With the ex-dividend date approaching on Sep 12, 2025, investors are advised to consider both the dividend opportunity and the broader operational outlook when evaluating their positions. Note that any purchase of Caleres stock after this date will not qualify for the upcoming $0.07000000 dividend payout.
