The New York Times Company (ISIN US6501111073) was last at USD 64.07 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.11 percent from the prior close. The company entered its October 7 ex-dividend date after declaring a USD 0.23 quarterly payment, according to Business Wire on September 25, 2026.

Dividend payment follows October 7 record date

The dividend is payable on October 22, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 7, 2026. The annualized payment is USD 0.92 per share, giving the distribution a clearly defined near-term calendar rather than an open-ended policy signal.

The payout comes as the company combines its flagship news operation with Games, Cooking, Audio, Wirecutter and The Athletic. That product mix makes recurring subscription income the key operating measure behind the dividend discussion.

Q2 revenue grows 11.2 percent

Second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 762.46 million, up 11.2 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while diluted EPS was USD 0.57. Adjusted diluted EPS came to USD 0.69, according to StockTitan in its summary of the August 5, 2026 filing.

Digital-only subscription revenue rose 16.4 percent to USD 407.9 million, while digital advertising revenue increased 20.7 percent to USD 114.0 million. Digital-only subscribers reached 12.80 million after 280,000 net additions versus the prior quarter, placing subscriber conversion and advertising growth ahead of the broader revenue line.
