MarketWise Inc. (NASDAQ: MKTW) declared a total cash dividend of $0.45 per share, combining a regular quarterly payout with a special dividend announced on Tuesday.
"The company's Board of Directors approved the regular and special cash dividends on May 5, 2026," the company said in a press release. A comparable distribution was also approved for holders of MarketWise, LLC common units.
The total payout is composed of a $0.25 per share regular quarterly dividend and a $0.20 per share special cash dividend. The dividend will be paid on June 25, 2026, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2026.
Special dividends often signal a company's strong cash position and confidence in its financial outlook. The announcement could attract income-focused investors ahead of the mid-May record date, though the stock's price reaction was not immediately available.
