JAKKS Pacific reported 20% growth in third-quarter sales and declared a quarterly cash dividend in a release dated 22 October 2026. The announcement combines a completed reporting period with a future payment timetable; those two dates should not be treated as the same event.
Sales and earnings
| Measure | Disclosure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Net sales | US$254.2 million, up 20% year on year. | Release |
| Net income attributable to common stockholders | US$29.9 million reported; US$32.3 million adjusted. | Release |
| Diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders | US$2.48 reported; US$2.68 adjusted. | Release |
| Prior-year diluted EPS | US$1.74 reported; US$1.80 adjusted. | Release |
Earnings per share divides the earnings allocated to common stockholders by the relevant share count. The reported and adjusted versions use different profit inputs. Here, the adjusted figures are non-GAAP measures with exclusions set out in the company’s reconciliation; they are not replacements for the reported accounts.
The dividend timetable
| Measure | Disclosure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Action and amount | Quarterly cash dividend of US$0.25 per common share; declared by the board. | Release |
| Record date and eligibility | 27 November 2026; payable to shareholders of record on that date. | Release |
| Payment date | 28 December 2026, as scheduled in the release; not yet verified as completed. | Release |
| Ex-dividend date | Not stated in this release; no date is inferred here. | Release |
The record date identifies the holders used for the distribution, while the payment date is when the declared cash is scheduled to be paid. They do not mean that cash has already arrived. A declared dividend also does not establish an assured investment gain or a dividend yield without a separately verified share price.
What readers should keep separate
The financial figures cover the September quarter, not the final quarter of the year. The dividend dates fall later. Keep the reporting period, announcement date, eligibility date and payment date distinct when sharing the news.
This report does not estimate holiday-season sales or infer a stock-price reaction from the release. The next useful evidence will be actual subsequent results and confirmation of the scheduled distribution.
