> The payout matches the $0.48 dividend declared in July. Shareholders of record Nov. 2 are scheduled to receive payment Nov. 13.

Westamerica Bancorporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.48 per common share, maintaining its July payout and setting a Nov. 13 payment date for eligible shareholders.

For the three months ended Sept. 30, 2026, Westamerica had net income of $28.2 million and diluted earnings of $1.22 per common share.

Chairman, President and CEO David Payne said the dividend “recognizes Westamerica’s reliable earnings stream, financial strength and conservative risk profile.” Westamerica Bank, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, provides banking and trust services across Northern and Central California.

Shareholders of record at the close of business Nov. 2, 2026, are eligible for the payment. The $0.48 dividend matches the amount Westamerica declared in July, which was payable Aug. 14.
