FutureFuel Holds Dividend at $0.01 for Third Quarter

FutureFuel Corp. (NYSE: FF) declared a third-quarter cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable Sept. 18 to shareholders of record Sept. 4. The payout matches the prior quarter's level.

The company, based in Batesville, Arkansas, manufactures custom and performance chemicals alongside biofuels. Its chemical segment produces proprietary intermediates for major chemical companies, chlorinated polyolefin adhesion promoters, and antioxidant precursors. The performance chemicals line includes polymer modifiers for nylon and several small-volume specialty chemicals. FutureFuel's biofuels business focuses on biodiesel production.

At $0.01 per share, the quarterly distribution yields roughly 0.2% at the stock's current price. The board has maintained that rate for several consecutive quarters, signaling no change in capital allocation priorities. FutureFuel does not typically adjust the dividend mid-year; the next opportunity for a change would come with the fourth-quarter declaration.

The company's next scheduled financial report is the first-quarter 2026 earnings release, set for May 11. That print will show whether operating cash flow supports the current payout level through the rest of the year. FutureFuel's chemical segment faces headwinds from weaker industrial demand, while the biofuels side benefits from federal blending mandates. The dividend decision suggests management sees enough cash generation to keep the distribution steady without drawing down reserves.

Shareholders on record by Sept. 4 will receive the payment on Sept. 18.
