Bruker (BRKR) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $3.9844 per share on its 6.375% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A. The dividend is scheduled to be paid on December 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 15.
Bruker’s preferred dividend decision comes after a mixed period for the ordinary shares, with the 30-day share price return down 10.66% and the 7-day move also weaker, even though the year-to-date share price return is up 17.44% and the 1-year total shareholder return is 40.51%.
