Nasdaq: WINA Issues Dual Dividend Distribution to Shareholders
Winmark Corporation, trading under ticker Nasdaq: WINA, has unveiled its latest shareholder return initiative, which encompasses both a regular periodic distribution and an extraordinary payout to investors. The dual-dividend approach reflects the company’s commitment to returning capital while maintaining operational flexibility.
Dividend Distribution Details
The company’s Board has greenlit a $0.96 per-share regular distribution, payable on December 1, 2025 for shareholders maintaining positions as of November 12, 2025. In a more significant move, management has also sanctioned a $10.00 extraordinary payout per share, utilizing the same payment and record dates. The special distribution carries an estimated total outlay of approximately $35.6 million, drawing from existing cash reserves rather than new financing.
This dual-payout structure demonstrates Winmark Corporation’s robust cash generation capability and shareholder-friendly capital allocation strategy. The company retains flexibility for future distribution decisions, with all subsequent payouts requiring Board authorization.
About the Resale Franchising Leader
Winmark operates as a nationally established franchisor specializing in the pre-owned merchandise sector. The organization nurtures entrepreneurs venturing into its portfolio of award-recognized resale concepts: Plato’s Closet, Once Upon A Child, Play It Again Sports, Style Encore, and Music Go Round.
As of late September 2025, the network comprised 1,377 operational franchise locations alongside 2,800+ available growth territories. An additional 77 awarded franchises remain in pre-launch phases, signaling robust expansion momentum.
