Corteva, Inc. (CTVA ) announced on October 23, 2026 that its Board of Directors, at its quarterly meeting, authorized a common stock dividend of US$0.05 per share, payable December 15, 2026, to the company’s shareholders of record on December 1, 2026. Issued from Indianapolis, the declaration is Corteva’s first quarterly common dividend authorization since the company completed the spin-off of Vylor Inc., its advanced seed and genetics business, on October 1, 2026.
Corteva’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CTVA. The company’s previous quarterly common dividend, declared July 24, 2026, was $0.18 per share, paid September 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 1, 2026. That declaration preceded the separation: the July release described Corteva as a global pure-play agriculture company with a balanced and globally diverse mix of seed, crop protection, and digital products and services.
EIDP Preferred Stock Dividends
The Board of Directors of EIDP, Inc., formerly known as E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Corteva, declared regular preferred stock dividends of $1.12-1/2 per share on the $4.50 series preferred stock and $0.87-1/2 per share on the $3.50 series preferred stock. Both preferred dividends are payable January 25, 2027, to EIDP stockholders of record on January 4, 2027. EIDP’s prior declaration, made July 24, 2026, set the same series amounts, payable October 23, 2026, to EIDP stockholders of record on October 2, 2026.
The Vylor Separation
Corteva’s Board of Directors approved the separation on September 14, 2026, declaring a pro rata dividend of all issued and outstanding shares of Vylor common stock to Corteva stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 24, 2026. Under the approved terms, each stockholder of record received one share of Vylor common stock for every share of Corteva common stock held, with cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The distribution was set to occur prior to 9:30 a.m. New York City time on October 1, 2026, and Corteva stated it was intended to be tax-free to its stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares.
Vylor common stock began regular-way trading on the NYSE under the symbol VYLR at the open of trading on October 1, 2026, after when-issued trading that ran from September 25 through September 30, 2026. Corteva confirmed the completed separation on October 1, 2026, stating it would move forward as a leading, pure-play global crop protection company.
“This is a new day for Corteva, and we couldn’t be more excited as we move forward with greater focus, agility and a renewed commitment to innovation and operational excellence,” Chief Executive Officer Luke Kissam said in the separation announcement. The company reported that between 2020 and 2025 its crop protection business increased revenue by more than $1 billion while expanding operating EBITDA margins by approximately 250 basis points on a segment basis. Corteva said differentiated technologies now represent approximately 65% of sales and that it is advancing an $11 billion crop protection pipeline with 12 new actives, including 5 biologicals, planned for launch in the next decade. The company said its nearly 9,000 employees serve growers in approximately 110 countries.
In the dividend announcement, Corteva describes itself as a global crop protection company whose portfolio includes what it calls award-winning conventional chemistries and advantaged biologicals, along with seed-applied technologies and nature-inspired products. The company says those products help farmers increase yields and protect crops from the stresses of weather, insects, weeds and diseases.
Corteva has separately scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings release for Wednesday, November 11, 2026, after the stock market close, to be distributed by press release and posted on its website. A live earnings webcast is set for Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The company said the accompanying slide presentation will be posted on its Events and Presentations page and that a replay of the webcast will be available there until November 12, 2027.
