Winmark Corp (WINA) shares rose 5.79% to close at $298.74 on Tuesday. The primary driver for the move was the company’s announcement of a $4.00 per share special dividend alongside its standard quarterly payout.
What Happened
Winmark disclosed its third-quarter financial results via an 8-K filing on October 14, 2026. The company reported third-quarter earnings per share of $3.21, which missed the consensus estimate of $3.23. However, revenue of $27.890 million exceeded the estimated $23.993 million. Alongside the earnings release, the board approved a regular quarterly dividend of $1.02 per share and a special dividend of $4.00 per share. This follows a pattern of recent quarterly results where revenue has generally beaten expectations while earnings per share have lagged estimates.
