Fortive declares $0.06 quarterly dividend, replenishes share buyback program

Fortive Corporation (NYSE: FTV) announced its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, payable December 26, 2025 to stockholders of record on November 28, 2025.

The company stated that while it expects to pay dividends quarterly, future dividend declarations remain subject to board discretion regarding amounts, record dates and payment dates.

The board also approved an increase in shares authorized under the company's general share repurchase program, bringing the total number of shares available for repurchase to 20 million shares, including previously available shares.

This general repurchase authorization operates separately from Fortive's special purpose share repurchase program, which has approximately $78.2 million remaining from an original $550 million authorization. The special program allows Fortive to repurchase shares exclusively using proceeds from cash dividends and other cash received from Ralliant Corporation following the separation completed June 28, 2025.

Under both programs, Fortive may purchase common stock on a discretionary basis through open market transactions or private negotiations, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by management based on market conditions and other factors.

The repurchase programs have no expiration date and do not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares. The programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Fortive, headquartered in Everett, Washington, operates through two strategic segments: Intelligent Operating Solutions and Advanced Healthcare Solutions. The company employs more than 10,000 people across approximately 50 countries.
