Washington Federal’s stock slipped as investors looked past income stability and focused instead on broader worries about the bank’s outlook. The company’s board declared a cash dividend of $12.1875 per 4.875% Series A preferred share, or $0.30468750 per WAFDP depositary share, payable July 15, 2026 to holders of record on June 30, 2026.
The move underlines management’s commitment to rewarding preferred shareholders even as the common stock comes under pressure. By locking in a future payout date and amount, Washington Federal is signaling confidence in its capital position, though that reassurance has not yet translated into support for the share price.
