Matador Resources Co 8-K

What Happened

• Matador Resources Co. (MTDR) filed a Form 8‑K on February 17, 2026 to announce that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the company’s common stock. The announcement was made public via a press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the filing.
• The dividend is being paid pursuant to the dividend policy the Board adopted in October 2025. The 8‑K was signed by Co‑President Bryan A. Erman.

Key Details

• Filing date: February 17, 2026 (Form 8‑K, Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure).
• Dividend declared on common stock and paid under the Board’s dividend policy adopted October 2025.
• Future dividend payments are discretionary and will depend on results of operations, cash flows, financial position, capital requirements, general business conditions, and legal, tax and regulatory considerations.
• Press release detailing the declaration is included as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8‑K.

Why It Matters

• The declaration signals the company is returning cash to shareholders under a formal dividend policy, which may be of interest to income-focused investors. However, the Board retains discretion over future dividend payments and tied them to financial performance and other constraints, so dividends are not guaranteed. Investors should review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the company’s financial reports for details on dividend amount, record and payment dates, and the company’s financial condition.
