Dividend reaffirmed — $0.421875 per depositary share, unchanged from prior quarterly distributions
First Guaranty’s dividend filing confirms the quarterly preferred payout remains unchanged at $0.421875 per depositary share.
First Guaranty is a Louisiana-based bank holding company operating through First Guaranty Bank while rebuilding capital and tightening operations under a 2026 regulatory consent order. This filing does not change that story: it confirms the scheduled quarterly distribution on the 6.75% Series A preferred stock at $0.421875 per depositary share.
| Item | Filing detail |
|---|---|
| Preferred stock dividend | $16.875 per Series A preferred share |
| Depositary-share distribution | $0.421875 per depositary share |
| Preferred coupon | 6.75% fixed-rate, non-cumulative |
| Record date | November 15, 2026 |
| Payment date | December 1, 2026 |
The information was already known before this filing: the board announced the dividend on October 15, so the October 27 8-K is confirmation rather than a surprise. The amount also matches the recurring quarterly payout structure, making this neutral versus expectations rather than a positive signal. 〔0〕
The only meaningful takeaway is continuity: despite the bank’s capital and regulatory-repair effort, this filing shows the preferred distribution remains in place for this quarter. It does not provide evidence of improved earnings, stronger capital generation, or a change in the broader turnaround.
Bottom line: This is routine confirmation of an already announced preferred dividend. It matters mainly because the payout continues, not because the business story has materially changed.
