In this article series, I summarize dividend announcements of the past week. Only one stock (OZK) announced a dividend increase this week. The increase is modest at 2.1% but extends a remarkable record of 64 consecutive quarterly increases, compounding to an annual dividend growth rate of around 9%.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank OZK (the “Bank”) (Nasdaq: OZK) expects to report its second quarter 2026 earnings after the market closes on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. Management comments on the second quarter of 2026 will be released simultaneously with the earnings press release and financial supplement which will be available on the Bank's investor relations website.

OZK launches a new $200 million share repurchase program through July 2027, extending its capital return strategy alongside steady dividend growth.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank OZK (the “Bank”) (Nasdaq: OZK) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing the purchase of up to $200 million of outstanding common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program has received all necessary regulatory approvals and will become effective July 1, 2026, upon the expiration of the Bank's current stock repurchase program, and will remain in effect through July 1, 2027, unless extended or shortened by the Board of Directors.

Bank OZK is rated a buy, driven by strong Sunbelt expansion, robust loan growth, and leading ROE among regional peers. OZK's low debt/equity, rising investment yields, and superior dividend growth support a favorable risk profile and income thesis. Despite top-line strength, declining margins and near-term consensus for EPS declines temper a highly bullish case, resulting in a more modest bullish stance.

NEW YORK, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greystone, a leading national commercial real estate finance company, announced today that it has arranged $141 million in construction financing on behalf of The Hampton Group for the ground-up development of IKONIC Scottsdale, a 14-story, 245-unit ultra-luxury multifamily tower located at 16640 North Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale, Arizona. The financing consists of a senior mortgage provided by Bank OZK and a mezzanine loan from Related Fund Management.

Bank OZK (OZK) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?

Bank OZK remains a "Strong Buy" as CRE overhang fades and diversification accelerates. OZK's credit quality holds firm, with reserves covering over three years of current charge-offs and a CET1 ratio of 11.6%. Loan growth is muted near-term but expected to reaccelerate toward 10% by 2027 as real estate exposure declines.
