LONGVIEW, Texas, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- -- The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Friedman Industries, Incorporated, (NASDAQ/GS: FRD) a Texas-based company engaged in steel processing, pipe manufacturing, and steel and pipe distribution, declared on June 25, 2025, a cash dividend of $0.04 per share on the Common Stock of the Company. The Company will pay the cash dividend on August 8, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 18, 2025. This dividend marks the Company's 214th consecutive quarterly cash dividend since becoming publicly traded in 1972.

Friedman Industries' margins remain flat despite Sinton running at full capacity, with no meaningful profitability improvement in 1Q25. Volume growth and higher hot rolled coil prices are positives, but margin pressure persists amid weak US economic expectations. Tariffs offer minimal benefit to Friedman, and a recession could further dampen demand and margins in this cyclical business.

FRD posts strong fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 with record sales volume and margin gains, but full-year results reflect earlier pricing pressures.
