BUFFALO, N.Y. - Rand Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:RAND) announced Monday that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share, to be distributed on or about September 12, 2025. The company, which has raised its dividend for three consecutive years according to InvestingPro, currently offers an attractive 6.09% dividend yield.
The dividend will be paid to shareholders of record as of August 29, 2025, according to a press release from the business development company. With a market capitalization of approximately $56.4 million and strong financial health metrics, including a current ratio of 2.69, Rand Capital currently has approximately 3 million shares outstanding.
Rand Capital, which provides alternative financing for lower middle market companies, noted that the amount and timing of dividend distributions are subject to the discretion of its Board of Directors. When declaring distributions, the board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences can arise from changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and spillover income carried over from one year to the next. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions, will be made after the close of the tax year.
Rand Capital focuses its debt and related equity investments in privately-held, lower middle market companies with experienced management teams across various industries. The company typically invests in businesses with sustainable products, revenue exceeding $10 million, and EBITDA over $1.5 million.
The company’s investment activities are managed by its external investment adviser, Rand Capital Management, LLC.
