Lennox International (LII) is set to distribute a cash dividend of $1.30 per share on Oct 15, 2025. The ex-dividend date for this payment is Sep 30, 2025, meaning investors must own shares by this date to be eligible for the payout. The company announced the dividend on Sep 19, 2025, and the last dividend was distributed on Jul 15, 2025, also at $1.30 per share. Over the past 10 dividend periods, the average dividend per share was approximately $0.396, which is significantly lower compared to the current dividend, indicating a notable increase in the payout. This suggests that the company is currently rewarding shareholders at a higher rate than its historical average, a positive development for long-term investors.
Recently,
has made several strategic and operational announcements that could influence its market performance and business fundamentals. One of the most significant developments is the company’s recent $1 billion increase in its share repurchase program. This move underscores management’s confidence in the company’s financial health and its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The expanded buyback program is expected to reduce the number of shares outstanding, potentially boosting earnings per share and enhancing shareholder equity.
Over the past week, Lennox also announced a major acquisition in the HVAC industry, agreeing to acquire the HVAC division of NSI Industries for $550 million. This acquisition is expected to strengthen Lennox’s product offerings and expand its market reach, particularly in the commercial and industrial sectors. The deal highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to innovate and diversify its services, including the integration of AI technology to enhance customer service and operational efficiency.
Since the last update, the company has faced mixed stock performance, with shares underperforming the broader industry index. However, insiders continue to hold a substantial stake in the company, valued at around $464 million, which signals alignment with shareholders and confidence in the company’s long-term prospects. Additionally, recent technical indicators on the 15-minute chart showed bearish signals, including a KDJ Death Cross and a Bearish Marubozu pattern, suggesting short-term volatility. Nevertheless, fundamental indicators such as revenue and EBIT margins remain stable, with revenue growing by 7.9% to $5.4 billion and EPS increasing at a 22% annualized rate over the past three years.
The exdividend date of Sep 30, 2025, is the last day for investors to buy shares in Lennox and still qualify for the upcoming dividend. Any purchase after this date will not be entitled to the dividend payment.
