Old Republic International $ORI (+0.52%)

I almost fell off my chair when I saw the dividend forecast for January 2025. I was sure that only yesterday my forecast showed a completely different number.

But the surprise is not because of a worse forecast, but because of something positive and to be more precise; an announced special dividend of $ORI (+0.52%) 🤑

Below is a translated text from PR NewsWire, Chicago:

This special dividend will be paid on January 15, 2025 to shareholders of record on January 3, 2025. In total, ORI will pay shareholders approximately $500 million. (PRNewswire, Chicago, Dec 13, 2024).

This indicates a good start to 2025.
