Hillenbrand declares a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.2275 per share, payable on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on December 16, 2025.

Additionally, Hillenbrand beat analyst expectations for Q4 with adjusted earnings per share of $0.83 and revenue of $652.1 million, while revenue fell 22% year over year, mainly due to the divestiture of Milacron business units. » Mais em de.investing.com
