THOMASVILLE, Ga., Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) today announced that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1250 per share, representing the 96th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the company, which is payable on September 25, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 11, 2026.

I had previously been bearish on Flowers Foods because the dividend seemed unsustainable. The recent dividend cut addressed that point. Earnings continued to disappoint with Q2 missing expectations and the company trimming full-year guidance. Management expects continued weakness into Q3, but anticipated cost savings and product innovation could stabilize performance in Q4.

Flowers Foods maintains a Strong Buy rating, as current valuation already prices in a very weak outcome and offers a significant margin of safety. Despite Q2 misses, guidance cuts, and macro headwinds, FLO continues to generate robust free cash flow and is progressing on debt reduction and balance sheet improvements. Potential asset sales, such as the rumored Tastykake one, could accelerate deleveraging and position FLO for enhanced shareholder returns, including buybacks once debt targets are achieved.
