Good morning!
We’ve got a mammoth dividend hike coming from… a company that sells ringtones? What year is it? We’ve also got a double-digit raise from a name Dividend Insider subscribers will recognize: Commercial Metals Company.
And finally, a stock Peter Lynch was recommending back in the ’90s has just declared its latest payout.
Let’s start with the ringtone titan…
Zedge, Inc. ($ZDGE) Raises Dividend By 25%
Zedge, Inc. operates a digital marketplace and app used to customize smartphones with free and premium wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds. The company also owns Emojipedia, the self-described “#1 trusted source for all things emoji.”
Sarcasm aside, Zedge’s CEO recently noted: “Free cash flow increased 31% year over year, and our balance sheet remains debt-free with $19.1 million in cash.”
A silly business, but a profitable one.
Yesterday, the company announced a 25% dividend increase.
Zedge, Inc. will now pay a $0.02/share quarterly dividend.
Ex-dividend date: 4/6/26
Payout date: 4/15/26
Forward starting dividend yield: 2.61%
Commercial Metals Company ($CMC) Raises Dividend By 11.1%
Commercial Metals Company recycles scrap steel and other metals, melts them down, and transforms the material into rebar, wire rod, structural steel, and even armor plating.
The company has been covered in depth by the Dividend Insider premium newsletter due to its long-term market-beating performance and its portfolio of boring-but-profitable subsidiaries that manufacture metal T-posts, culverts, and rebar.
Yesterday, the company announced its 246th consecutive quarterly dividend, along with an 11.1% increase over the prior distribution.

Glacier Bancorp, Inc. ($GBCI) Declares $0.33 Dividend

It has grown from a single small-town thrift into a multi-state financial services provider, now operating more than 240 locations across the Western United States, including Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada.
Glacier has paid uninterrupted dividends for over 40 years and has increased its dividend 49 times.
