Weyerhaeuser Company Announces New Dividend Payment to Shareholders
On August 8, 2025,
Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) made an announcement that is likely to interest investors and stakeholders alike. The company’s board of directors has confirmed the declaration of a quarterly base cash dividend amounting to
$0.21 per share on its common stock. This payment is set to benefit stockholders holding shares as of the close of business on
August 29, 2025, and the cash dividends will be distributed on
September 12, 2025.
This decision is part of Weyerhaeuser's commitment to providing consistent returns to its shareholders. According to the company’s cash return framework, alongside the regular base cash dividend, Weyerhaeuser intends to provide additional returns through variable cash distributions. This strategy aims to maintain a targeted total return to shareholders of
75 to 80 percent of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). The company is poised to allocate extra cash in forms such as supplemental dividends, opportunistic share repurchases, or a combination of both.
Adjusted FAD, a technical term used by Weyerhaeuser, is defined as the net cash generated from operations after considering capital expenditures and significant one-off costs. This measure is crucial for shareholders as it reflects the company's capacity to maintain robust dividend payouts and fund sustainable growth projects.
