Designer Brands announces quarterly cash dividend

Designer Brands Inc. (NYSE:DBI), a leading shoe retailer, has declared a quarterly cash dividend for its shareholders. The company’s board approved a dividend of $0.05 per share for both Class A and Class B common shares, maintaining its annual dividend yield of 5.92%. Shareholders of record by the close of business on March 28, 2025, will be eligible for the dividend, which is payable on April 11, 2025.

This decision reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to providing value to its shareholders. Designer Brands, formerly known as DSW Inc ., has a history of retailing a wide range of footwear and accessories. The company’s headquarters are located in Columbus (WA:CLC), Ohio, and it operates under the organizational name 07 Trade & Services.

The announcement of the dividend payment was made in a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Designer Brands has a tradition of announcing record and payment dates for future quarterly dividends at the time such dividends are declared by the Board.

Investors and market watchers often view dividend announcements as indicators of a company’s financial health and management’s confidence in its future cash flows. Dividends can also attract income-focused investors and potentially influence the company’s stock performance on the New York Stock Exchange where its shares are traded.

In other recent news, Designer Brands Inc. has been the focus of analyst attention. UBS analysts have adjusted their outlook for the company, lowering the price target from $6.00 to $4.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating. This change is attributed to ongoing challenges in the company’s revenue performance, particularly noted in the fourth quarter and extending into February. UBS expects Designer Brands’ fourth-quarter earnings per share to fall short by 6 cents compared to consensus estimates. Additionally, they anticipate the company’s fiscal year 2025 guidance will be below current market expectations, potentially leading to downward revisions of the Street’s $0.58 EPS forecast for FY25. Despite these challenges, UBS suggests that the market has already accounted for a weaker earnings report, indicating limited downside risk. The options market, however, is pricing in a significant price movement of +/-16.3% for Designer Brands, although UBS anticipates less volatility than the options market predicts. These developments provide investors with insights into the company’s current financial outlook.
