Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. announces Quarterly dividend, payable on October 01, 2026 Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. announced Quarterly dividend of USD 0.3300 per share payable on October 01, 2026, ex-date on September 21, 2026 and record date on September 21, 2026. New Risk • Aug 05
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €586k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Recent Insider Transactions • Aug 04
