(NYSE:OEC), a global specialty chemicals company trading at $10.63, will distribute an interim dividend of $0.0207 per common share in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to a company press release.

The announcement comes as part of the company’s regular dividend distribution program. The information is based on a statement issued by Orion S.A. through a press release.
In other recent news, Orion Engineered Carbons S.A. announced an interim dividend for the third quarter of 2025, with shareholders set to receive $0.0207 per common share. This dividend totals approximately $1.2 million, with a payment date of July 2, 2025, for those on record by June 11, 2025. The dividend is subject to a 15% Luxembourg withholding tax, although exemptions may apply under certain conditions. In another development, JPMorgan analysts downgraded Orion’s stock from Overweight to Neutral and reduced the price target to $12.00 from $18.00. This downgrade reflects concerns about economic uncertainties impacting valuation, despite Orion’s forecasted enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 5.2x for 2025. The analysts noted a decreased likelihood of multiple expansion and highlighted Orion’s projected free cash flow yield of approximately 15% for 2026. This is partly due to a predicted decrease in capital expenditures following the completion of an expansion project in battery materials. The current valuation of carbon black companies, including Orion, is seen as being within a normal range relative to each other.
