Dillard's Inc. (NYSE: DDS), a major fashion retailer headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, but with deep Texas roots, announced on September 18, 2026, its decision to voluntarily transfer the primary listings of its securities from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE). This move includes both Dillard's Class A Common Stock (ticker: DDS) and the Capital Securities of Dillard's Capital Trust I (ticker: DDT). This transfer is expected to take effect at the market open on Monday, October 5, 2026, with trading ceasing on the NYSE at the market close on Friday, October 2, 2026. Shareholders are not required to take any action.
The decision to switch exchanges aligns with Dillard's strong presence and heritage in Texas, which is its largest market with 54 retail locations. The company reincorporated from Delaware to Texas in August 2025. This transfer marks a significant win for the TXSE, as Dillard's, with its substantial market capitalization (reportedly over $10 billion), represents a major corporate listing, following earlier announcements of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and other companies. The TXSE is positioning itself as a technology-driven platform and a challenger to established exchanges like NYSE and Nasdaq.
Dillard's operates 272 stores across 30 states and an internet store, focusing on premium fashion apparel, beauty, and home collections. The company emphasizes delivering style, quality, and value through national and exclusive brand sources, complemented by client-focused customer care. This move by a well-established retailer underscores the TXSE's growing traction in attracting listings and further solidifies its ambition to build capital markets within Texas.
