Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged the current economic uncertainty and investors look to this week's Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index data, ahead of next week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. February's jobs report released last week signaled a softening labor market and the ISM Manufacturing PMI showed firms are already experiencing disruptions from the Trump administration's tariff policies.

Shares of several companies in the broader financial sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following hotter-than-expected March inflation data.

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Rand Capital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RAND#NASDAQ">RAND</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 25 cents per share. On Monday, Rand Capital will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 25 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own RAND as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 25 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 29, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Shares of several companies in the broader financial sector are trading lower after January CPI data showed a greater-than-expected rise in inflation, which increased uncertainty surrounding future rate cuts.

Total 2023 cash dividend distributions of $1.33 per share up 60% over 2022

Each of the dividends will be distributed on or about December 29, 2023, to shareholders of record as of December 18, 2023. Rand has approximately 2.6 million shares outstanding.
Daniel P. Penberthy, President and CEO, commented, "Rand has delivered strong results thus far during 2023 with continued earnings momentum driven by the improvement of our portfolio composition that is focused on income-producing investments. Additionally, we sold our debt and equity investment in Dealer Solutions and Design during the second quarter, which resulted in a sizable net gain. This overall performance enabled an increase to our quarterly dividend distribution earlier in the year and the distribution of the $0.38 per share special dividend during the fourth quarter of 2023.
"Further demonstrating the strength of our strategy is the total $1.33 per share of cash dividends paid this year, which is up 60% over 2022 and up 200% over a two-year period. Looking forward, we believe we can continue to replicate our success by leveraging our multiple sources of capital to grow our portfolio and drive investment income growth that will help to support future dividends."
