CARTHAGE, Mo., May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --  Board declared second quarter dividend of $.05 per share Annual meeting voting aligned with Board recommendations Leggett & Platt's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.05 per share for the second quarter 2026.

Valvoline was Broyhill's largest contributor in the quarter, as the underlying unit economics are intact, while unit growth, service mix, and price continue moving in the same direction. Honeywell management accelerated the aerospace spin-off to the end of June, leaving behind a pure-play automation business that Broyhill believes is worth meaningfully more than the whole. Large pharma is structurally reliant on IQVIA's clinical trial architecture and proprietary data assets, and Broyhill thinks it is highly unlikely that AI can automate away the FDA approval process.
