Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:HLIO) filed a Form 8-K that attaches a press release, dated September 28, 2026, announcing that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share. The dividend is payable on October 26, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 13, 2026.

The release, headlined "Helios Technologies Extends History of Quarterly Dividends With 119th Consecutive Cash Dividend," describes the payment as the 119th consecutive quarterly dividend the company has declared.

The Dividend and Its Dates

Three dates matter in any dividend announcement. The declaration date is when the board authorizes the payment, the record date determines which shareholders are entitled to receive it, and the payment date is when the money is actually distributed. Here, the press release gives a record date of October 13, 2026 and a payment date of October 26, 2026, thirteen days apart. The amount, $0.12 per share, is the figure the release presents for this quarter's payment.

The release says the company has approximately 33.0 million shares outstanding. Multiplying that figure by the $0.12 dividend gives a total payout of roughly $4 million, though the release itself does not state a total dollar amount, and the actual sum depends on the number of shares outstanding on the record date.

A Record Dating to 1997

The centerpiece of the announcement is the streak. According to the release, Helios has declared consecutive quarterly dividends for more than 29 years, with the first dividend paid in the first quarter of 1997. The 119th consecutive declaration follows from that history. Dividends are declared at the discretion of a company's board and are not guaranteed.

About the Company

The press release describes Helios Technologies as "a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology." It says the company supplies premium products across a range of end markets, including agriculture, construction, data centers, energy, health and wellness, industrial, marine, material handling and recreational vehicles, and that its products reach customers in more than 80 countries. The company's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol HLIO.

The release lists two contacts: Tania Almond, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communication, and Deborah Pawlowski of Alliance Advisors LLC. Those subjects are covered in the company's separate earnings releases and periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K.

A dividend declaration is not among the events that must be reported under a specific numbered item of Form 8-K, but companies often furnish or file the press release so that investors can find the announcement alongside their other SEC disclosures. It also makes the declaration and the relevant dates a permanent part of the public record. This filing is a short current report whose substance is the attached release.

Helios's Dividend Dates and a Streak Dating to 1997

The dates to note are the record date of October 13, 2026 and the payment date of October 26, 2026. Dividend announcements for later quarters would be expected to arrive through similar press releases and current reports. If the company changes the amount or timing of its dividend, the change would appear in a future announcement, and the company's quarterly reports would give updated information on cash flows and dividends paid.
