Old Republic’s Stock Hits All-Time High as Dividends and Earnings Soar
Old Republic International has seen a strong year in the stock market, with its share price climbing 25% so far. The company also hit an all-time high of $46.64 on November 26, reflecting steady growth over the past three years. Investors have taken notice, with one major firm adjusting its outlook on the stock.
The company’s financial performance has remained robust. In the third quarter of 2025, net operating income rose from $182.7 million to $196.7 million. This growth aligns with Old Republic’s focus on long-term operational stability and shareholder returns.
Dividend payouts have followed a similar upward trend. Over the past four quarters, the firm distributed $1.16 per share, marking a 9.4% increase from the previous period. The company also announced a special dividend of $2.50 per share—the largest in its history—scheduled for January 14, 2026. Investment firm Piper Sandler responded by raising its price target for Old Republic’s stock. The new target of $51, up from $46, comes with an overweight rating. This adjustment reflects confidence in the company’s ability to sustain growth and reward investors.
Old Republic’s stock has surged roughly 90% over the last three years, supported by rising income and record dividends. The latest special payout and Piper Sandler’s upgraded target suggest continued optimism. Shareholders will receive the special dividend in early 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to returns.
