2 consecutive increases
PLTY declared a $0.2998 weekly distribution, 8.7% above the prior $0.2758 payout and 11.04% below its $0.337017 trailing-12 average. This is the second consecutive increase. The distribution has an ex-date of 2026-07-16 and a pay date of 2026-07-17. It ranks 20th within the trailing 26 declarations.
The reported return-of-capital share is 94.59%, compared with a trailing ROC average of 58.7%, marking the stated ROC regime shift. Return of capital reduces an investor’s cost basis rather than being taxed as current income, and it can accompany NAV erosion.
