FORT COLLINS, Colo., Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWD) today announced that its Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share, an increase of approximately 14 percent from the prior quarter’s dividend of $0.22 per share. The dividend will be payable on March 5, 2024, for stockholders of record as of February 20, 2024. Woodward also announced that its Board of Directors authorized a three-year stock repurchase program, under which up to $600 million in Woodward stock may be repurchased in the open market and private transactions.

“These announcements reflect Woodward’s strong balance sheet, ability to generate cash flow, and our balanced capital allocation strategy, which includes returning cash to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases,” said Chip Blankenship, Chairman and CEO.
