Payout Schedule and Yield

According to the company's statement, the dividend will be payable on March 2 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 17. This double-digit hike follows a period of steady performance for the locomotive maker as it continues to navigate the global transition toward modernized freight and transit solutions.

The increase aligns with Wabtec's broader strategy to balance capital reinvestment with shareholder rewards. While the yield remains modest relative to the broader industrial sector, the magnitude of the hike reflects management's confidence in the company's long-term cash flow generation.
