Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Value (98): The shares cost little relative to the profits and assets behind them — which can mean the market is too gloomy, or that the business really is in trouble.
Volatility (31): The share price moves around a lot.
Size (22): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

This is a weekly summary of dividend activity for Dividend Champions, Contenders, and Challengers, covering companies that changed their dividends and those with upcoming ex-dividend dates for the week of October 4.
Why it matters — OZK watchers may find it relevant as it tracks dividend changes and ex-dividend dates that could affect their holdings' income schedule.
Bank OZK announced an increase to its quarterly common stock dividend and declared a preferred stock dividend. The company has now delivered quarterly common stock dividend increases for 65 consecutive quarters.
Why it matters — This marks an extended track record of uninterrupted quarterly dividend increases, which is a notable indicator for shareholders and income-focused OZK watchers.
Bank OZK announced it will report its third quarter 2026 earnings after market close on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The earnings release, financial supplement, and Management Comments will be made available simultaneously on the bank's investor relations website.
Why it matters — OZK watchers will want to know the scheduled date and timing for the bank's upcoming third-quarter results and accompanying materials.
Bank OZK's preferred shares offer a ~7.7% yield while trading at roughly a 40% discount to par, reflecting higher current interest rates than at issuance. Dividend coverage is strong at over 40x, but the shares carry long durations (~13-14 years), making them sensitive to rate changes and better suited to long-term income-focused investors.
Why it matters — OZK watchers would care because the preferred share dividend coverage and capital cushion are highlighted as strong, while long durations signal persistent rate sensitivity for investors in the bank's preferred securities.
Bank OZK (OZK), along with CSR and DBX, was added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) list on September 17th, 2026. The addition was announced by Zacks Investment Research in a roundup of new Strong Sell stocks.
