KINGSTON, N.Y., July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kingstone Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: KINS) (“Kingstone” or the “Company”), a regional property and casualty insurance holding company, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 20% increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to $0.06 per share of common stock from $0.05 per share. The dividend is payable on August 26, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 11, 2026.

Randy Patten, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Kingstone, stated, “One year after reinstating our quarterly dividend, this 20% increase reflects the Board’s confidence in the earnings power of the platform we have built and our outlook for continued profitable growth. Together with the share repurchase program announced in May, it demonstrates our ability to return capital to shareholders while continuing to invest in the business. We remain committed to disciplined capital allocation and prioritizing the opportunities we believe will generate the highest long-term returns for our shareholders.”

This is the first dividend increase since Kingstone reinstated its quarterly dividend in July 2025 and follows the Board’s authorization in May 2026 of a share repurchase program of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over the next two years.
