Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: The Buckle, Inc. is a U.S.-based retailer specializing in casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and kids under the Buckle and Buckle Youth brands with a market cap of approximately $2.70 billion.

Operations: The Buckle, Inc.'s revenue is primarily derived from its casual apparel, footwear, and accessories segment, which generated $1.28 billion.

Dividend Yield: 8.2%

The Buckle, Inc. recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share and a special cash dividend of $3.00 per share, both payable in January 2026. Despite these payouts, the company's high cash payout ratio suggests dividends are not well covered by free cash flows, indicating potential sustainability concerns.
