Full-Year Financial Performance
The dividend announcement came alongside Rush Enterprises' full-year 2025 financial results. The New Braunfels, Texas-based company reported annual revenues of $7.4 billion and net income of $263.8 million, or $3.27 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Those figures compared with revenues of $7.8 billion and net income of $304.2 million, or $3.72 per diluted share, for the prior year. The 2024 results included a one-time pre-tax charge of approximately $3.3 million related to Hurricane Helene property damage.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Rush Enterprises recorded revenues of $1.8 billion and net income of $64.3 million.
Capital Allocation Strategy
Chairman, CEO and President W.M. "Rusty" Rush said the dividend reflects the company's confidence in its balance sheet strength and cash generation capabilities. The company spent $200 million on a prior stock repurchase program in 2025 and announced a new $150 million repurchase authorization in the fourth quarter.
Rush acknowledged challenging market conditions in 2025, including depressed freight rates, trade policy uncertainty, and excess capacity that weighed on demand for new commercial vehicles. However, he noted improvement in Class 8 quoting activity and order intake late in the fourth quarter, with demand continuing to strengthen in early 2026.
The company expanded its dealership network in 2025 by adding two IC Bus locations in Ontario, Canada.
