Dividend Payment Schedule - A Recent History
On Wednesday, April 10, 2013, the Board of Directors of Caterpillar Inc. voted to maintain the quarterly cash dividend of fifty-two cents ($0.52) per share of common stock, payable May 20, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business, April 22, 2013.
"We had a record year in 2012 and I am pleased to announce to our stockholders that we are maintaining Caterpillar's quarterly dividend. While we're encouraged by some recent improvements in economic indicators, there are still uncertainties in the world and the company is ready for any circumstances. The balance sheet is strong and dividend payments are a good way to reward long-term investors in the company. We are committed to providing value to our stockholders," said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman.
