Good morning!
We’re kicking off the week with an inflation-beating dividend increase from a seldom-discussed royalty stock, plus two additional companies declaring their latest payouts.
Let’s start with the raise.
Royalty Pharma plc ($RPRX) Raises Dividend By 6.8%
Royalty Pharma plc is the world’s largest buyer of biopharmaceutical royalties.
When a university, hospital, or biotech company invents a drug, it will often sell its royalty rights for a lump-sum payment to Royalty Pharma. In return, Royalty Pharma collects a percentage of the drug’s future sales for as long as the patent and royalty agreement remain in force.
This model allows the company to earn income from pharmaceutical sales without operating its own laboratories or research facilities.
Royalty Pharma’s portfolio includes many blockbuster drugs produced by major healthcare companies such as AbbVie, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson. The company recently announced a 6.8% dividend increase.
Royalty Pharma plc will now pay a $0.235/share quarterly dividend.
Ex-dividend date: 2/20/26
Payout date: 3/10/26
Forward starting dividend yield: 2.33%
