Five Star Bancorp has declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on its voting common stock. The bank holding company announced the distribution on October 16, 2026, in a press release distributed via Globe Newswire from its headquarters in Rancho Cordova, California.
The dividend is expected to be paid on November 9, 2026. To qualify for the payment, investors must hold the shares as of the record date of November 2, 2026. Five Star Bancorp operates through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Five Star Bank, which maintains ten branches in California.
The announcement was made under Regulation FD, a federal rule that governs how public companies disclose material nonpublic information to the market. The company identified the release as a Form 8-K exhibit, specifically document EX-99.1, which contains the press release text. This filing structure ensures that all shareholders receive the dividend details simultaneously.
Five Star Bancorp included standard forward-looking statement disclosures in the release. The company noted that statements regarding future events, business plans, and operating results are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond its control. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. The company directed investors to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2026, for a detailed description of risk factors.
Heather C. Luck serves as the Chief Financial Officer for Five Star Bancorp and is the designated investor contact for the company. Shelley R. Wetton is the Chief Marketing Officer and serves as the media contact. The company disclaimed any duty to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.
The declaration of a quarterly dividend is a routine financial action for established bank holding companies. It reflects the company's current cash position and its commitment to returning capital to shareholders. The specific amount of $0.25 per share sets the baseline for shareholder returns for the third quarter of 2026.
Investors should note that the record date of November 2, 2026, determines eligibility for the dividend payment. Trading in the stock typically settles within two business days of purchase, so shares bought after this date may not qualify for this specific dividend cycle. The payment date of November 9, 2026, marks when the funds will be deposited into shareholder accounts.
Five Star Bancorp is listed on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol FSBC. The company's primary operations are conducted through Five Star Bank, which serves customers in California through its network of ten branches. The headquarters in Rancho Cordova coordinates corporate strategy and financial reporting for both entities.
The press release did not provide additional context regarding changes to previous dividend rates or specific financial metrics driving this particular declaration. The disclosure stands as a standalone notification of the upcoming payout schedule and terms.
