The combination of double-digit earnings growth and a large buyback should drive a positive reaction. Watch for additional buyback announcements later this year as SFG plans to review further repurchases under the Value-Up Plan. The record date for the dividend is July 30, so the ex-dividend date will be around July 28-29.
