KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nKansas City Southern (KCS or the Company) (NYSE:KSU) announced that its Board of Directors approved at its meeting today a 23% increase in the quarterly dividend on KCS\u2019s common stock, from $0.44 to $0.54 per share. The board declared a common stock dividend at this increased amount payable on April 7, 2021, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2021.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe increase in the quarterly dividend on KCS\u2019s common stock aligns with the Company\u2019s approach to maintaining a target payout ratio in the low 20% range.

\nAlso at today\u2019s meeting, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.25 per share on the outstanding KCS 4% non-cumulative preferred stock. The dividend is payable on April 6, 2021 to preferred stockholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2021.\n<\/p>\n
