Stock Yards Bancorp raises dividend to $0.33, extending its annual increase streak

The payout is modestly ahead of the market’s standing baseline. Stock Yards Bancorp raised its quarterly dividend to $0.33 from the previously established $0.32 payout, a 3.1% increase; no published dividend consensus was identified, so the cleanest benchmark is the prior quarterly rate. The board approved the increase on August 18, 2026.

This is a continuation signal, not a major new strategic development. The increase follows the company’s recent pattern of annual dividend raises, making the direction partly anticipated; the actual change in the quarterly amount is the new information. The dividend is payable October 1, 2026, to shareholders of record September 21, 2026. 〔0〕

Net read: a narrow capital-return positive. The filing modestly improves the shareholder-return profile versus the prior payout, but it contains no earnings, balance-sheet, or outlook information to change the broader operating picture.
