Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE: SNA) announced today that its board of directors has increased its quarterly common stock dividend to $2.14 per share, from the previous $1.86 per share, an increase of $0.28 or 15.1%. The increased dividend is payable on December 10, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business November 21, 2024. Snap-on has paid quarterly cash dividends, without interruption or reduction, since 1939.

“This 15^th consecutive annual dividend increase confirms our steadfast commitment to create long-term value for our shareholders and demonstrates our ongoing belief that we’re well-positioned for a future of abundant promise,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. “Snap‑on’s dividend is an essential component of our approach to capital allocation, and it testifies to the considerable resilience and enduring strength of our enterprise, even during times of turbulence. Once again, our exceptional financial position, robust cash generation, and significant operating progress has enabled an increase to our cash dividend while, at the same time, supporting our continuing strategic investments, organically and through acquisitions, along our defined runways for both growth and improvement.”
