$0.25 per share is the third-quarter 2026 regular dividend declared by the board of directors of Stellus Capital Investment Corporation (NYSE: SCM) on July 16, 2026. The quarterly total divides into three monthly installments of $0.0833, covering July, August, and September. Three payments at $0.0833 produce $0.2499, which rounds to the stated $0.25 aggregate.
Payment schedule
Stellus Capital, headquartered in Houston, will distribute the installments in August, September, and October 2026.
| Payment month | Per-share installment |
|---|---|
| August 2026 | $0.0833 |
| September 2026 | $0.0833 |
| October 2026 | $0.0833 |
| Q3 2026 aggregate | $0.25 |
The monthly structure spreads the quarterly payout across three successive payment dates rather than concentrating it in a single distribution. The final installment, due in October, falls one month after Q3 closes.
Dividend classification
The board's declaration carries the designation "regular," the standard quarterly payout as distinct from any special or supplemental component. Q3 2026 runs July through September. The reported per-share figures are $0.0833 monthly and $0.25 quarterly. The $0.0001-per-installment rounding gap across three months accounts for the difference between the computed $0.2499 and the stated $0.25 total.
