Highlights

• Olympia Financial Group reduced its monthly Dividend to C$0.50 from C$0.60, beginning with the June 2026 ex-date.

• Twelve monthly payments with ex-dates in the trailing year add up to C$6.70 per share in total.

• That trailing sum represents a 6.22% Yield on the C$107.70 price recorded near the 5 November close.

• At C$0.50 a month, the indicated annual payout of C$6.00 works out to a 5.57% yield.

Monthly income is the main attraction at Olympia Financial Group (TSX:OLY), and for much of the past year each cheque was worth C$0.60 per share. From June 2026 the Alberta-based financial services company lowered the amount to C$0.50, a one-sixth reduction that now shapes both its backward-looking and forward yields.

The cut is modest in cash terms, but on a stock priced above C$100 it shifts the yield by more than a full percentage point.

Two rates in one year

The higher rate ran from the payment that went ex-dividend on 19 November 2025 through the one that went ex on 20 May 2026, seven payments in all. The lower rate started with the 19 June ex-date and has been repeated every month since. In total, the change removes C$1.20 per share from the annual payout, taking it from C$7.20 to C$6.00. Every payment in the period carried a Record Date identical to its ex-date, reflecting the one-day settlement cycle.

The latest payment in the record went ex on 21 October 2026, with the same record date, and was paid on 30 October.

Yields at the latest close

Seven payments of C$0.60 and five of C$0.50 give a trailing total of C$6.70 for the window from 12 November 2025 to 11 November 2026. On the C$107.70 price recorded near the close on 5 November 2026, that equals a trailing yield of 6.22%. The price used here was recorded a minute before the end of trading on 5 November.

The indicated yield uses only the current rate, so twelve payments of C$0.50 produce C$6.00 a year and a yield of 5.57%. The difference between the two measures will narrow as the older, higher payments roll out of the window.

The Business behind the payout

Olympia operates through Olympia Trust Company, whose largest line administers self-directed registered plans for investors who hold Assets such as private mortgages and private company shares. The group also runs foreign exchange and global payment services, health benefit plans and corporate and Shareholder services.

Earnings from these divisions are sensitive to interest rates, because cash held in client accounts generates income for the company. Each division contributes to the Earnings from which the monthly dividend is paid.

Checking the older figures

An earlier data set showed a C$101.10 price and a 7.19% trailing yield, which would imply more than C$7.20 of payments over the year. The monthly record supports C$6.70, and no Special Dividend inside the window could be confirmed, so the older figure appears to overstate trailing income. A yield screen built on that number would suggest an income stream more than C$0.50 per share larger than the record supports.

What holders will monitor

The next monthly declaration will confirm whether C$0.50 is the new baseline. Quarterly results, which show how each division is performing, provide the wider context for that decision.
