ACNB Declares $0.75 Special Dividend Alongside 9.5% Regular Dividend Hike
ACNB sits 54% above its 52-week low of $42.6.
Summary
ACNB declared a $0.75 per share special dividend and raised its regular quarterly payout to $0.46, a 9.5% increase. Both are payable December 15, 2026. The special payout is large next to the regular dividend and comes with the stock near its 52-week high of $67.60, so the board is returning capital after a strong run. This follows Q3 results reported October 22 showing net income of $15.7 million and EPS of $1.55, and the Q2 10-Q showing net income of $15.2 million ($1.49 diluted EPS). The company has paid special dividends before, including one declared in April 2026 alongside a new 3% share repurchase authorization, so this is a repeat of an established capital-return pattern rather than a one-off.
At the time of this announcement, ACNB was trading at $65.40 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $664M. The 52-week trading range was $42.60 to $67.60.
