T. Rowe Price Group’s board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $1.34 a share on May 7, 2026, following the investment manager’s annual shareholder meeting, the company said on Thursday. Holders of record as of the close of business on June 12 will be eligible for the distribution, which is scheduled to be paid on June 26.
The dividend declaration came alongside the formal conclusion of the firm’s annual meeting, where shareholders cast votes on a slate of corporate governance items. The company said those ballots confirmed the board’s slate and other governance measures that will guide the firm through the coming fiscal period, although it did not disclose detailed vote tallies in its announcement.
At $1.34 per quarter, the dividend translates to an annualized cash return of $5.36 per share. For shareholders, the decision signals a continued emphasis on returning cash even as the Baltimore-based asset manager navigates a challenging market backdrop. In filings and market reports earlier in April, T. Rowe Price disclosed that assets under management had fallen to about $1.71 trillion as of March 31, 2026, down from prior months amid net client outflows and market movements.

The dividend move follows a period of heavier-than-usual client withdrawals: reports showed net client outflows of roughly $3.2 billion in March alone. That combination of declining AUM and persistent redemptions has shaped investor and analyst scrutiny of the firm’s margin outlook and earnings prospects heading into quarterly results this spring.
Company officials framed the payout as part of routine shareholder distributions tied to the board’s capital-allocation priorities. Dividend approvals typically follow the completion of annual meetings at many publicly traded asset managers, allowing boards to reaffirm cash returns for investors as they set strategic plans and governance structures for the year ahead.
