The latest update is out from Cemtrex ( (CETX) ).

On March 18, 2026, Cemtrex, Inc.’s board resolved that the upcoming dividend on its Series 1 Preferred Stock will be paid in additional shares of the same preferred stock, rather than in cash. The new shares are scheduled to be issued on April 7, 2026, to holders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2026.

This move preserves cash while still honoring the 10% annual dividend obligation on the $10.00 per share preference amount, signaling an emphasis on liquidity management and potentially altering the income profile for preferred shareholders. The decision may appeal to investors looking for compounding equity exposure but could be less attractive to those who prioritize immediate cash income from their holdings.

The most recent analyst rating on (CETX) stock is a Sell with a $0.67 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cemtrex stock, see the CETX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CETX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CETX is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak profitability and cash generation despite strong revenue growth and an improved balance sheet. Technicals are also unfavorable with a clear downtrend and negative MACD, while recent acquisitions provide some support but are tempered by repeated financings.
