MCAP Inc. ($MCAP) Raises Dividend By 42.95%

The firm’s latest payout is a 42.95% increase over the prior.

MCAP Inc. will now pay a $0.10/share special dividend.

Ralph Lauren Corporation ($RL) Declares $0.9125 Dividend

Many personal finance books claim that wealthy people don’t buy expensive cars.

This is interesting, because billionaire Ralph Lauren owns an enormous car collection worth over $600 million.

Lauren is also featured in numerous marketing books for his incredible ability build a “legacy” or “heritage” clothing brand from scratch and for making this business feel much older and more established than it actually is.

Founded in 1967, Ralph Lauren Corporation designs and sells clothing, shoes, eyewear, fragrances, and numerous other fashion accessories.

The company has paid dividends every year for over 20 years.

And recently, the firm announced its latest distribution.

Ralph Lauren Corporation will pay a $0.9125/share quarterly dividend, in-line with previous.

• Ex-dividend date: 9/26/25

• Payout date: 10/10/25

• Forward starting dividend yield: 1.16%

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. ($FERG) Declares $0.83 Dividend

The “building supply” industry is one of those investment sectors that never gets much mainstream attention despite consistently delivering strong returns.

The company distributes plumbing and heating products throughout the United States and Canada. The products include items like pipes, valves, and fittings. Not particularly exciting, but essential if you want to connect your toilet to the sewer system or have running water in your house.

Late last week, Ferguson Enterprises announced its latest distribution.

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. will pay an $0.83/share quarterly dividend that is in-line with previous.

• Ex-dividend date: 9/26/25

• Payout date: 11/7/25
