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:

(PRNewswire, Chicago, Dec 13, 2024).

This indicates a good start to 2025.
