Minerals Technologies Inc. Announces Increase in Quarterly Dividend; Third Consecutive Year of Dividend Increases
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE:MTX) ("MTI"), a leading, technology-driven specialty minerals company, today announced a 9% increase of its regular quarterly dividend on the company's common stock to $0.12 per share. The dividend is payable on December 4, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 30, 2025.
"This is the third year in a row that MTI's Board of Directors has authorized an increase of our quarterly dividend, reflecting our confidence in MTI's continued ability to deliver steady cash flow, create value for shareholders, and execute on its long-term growth strategy," said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
MTI's regular quarterly dividend is a key component of the company's balanced approach to capital deployment, which includes organic and inorganic investments, returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, and maintaining a strong balance sheet. In October 2024, MTI's Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program, and the company has repurchased $50 million of its shares under this program through the third quarter ended September 28, 2025.
