Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN) is an agricultural and infrastructure equipment company that manufactures and sells center pivot, lateral move, and hose reel irrigation systems alongside road safety infrastructure products. Revenue is transactional, generated through sales to independent dealer networks who resell irrigation equipment to farmers, and through distributors and direct sales for infrastructure products. The company operates two reporting segments, Irrigation and Infrastructure, with manufacturing in the United States, Brazil, Turkey, France, China, South Africa, and Italy, serving customers across global markets. Founded in 1955 and incorporated in Delaware, Lindsay maintains its corporate headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. The company paid $15.7 million in dividends during fiscal 2025 and $15.5 million during fiscal 2024, making it a consistent dividend payer. Demand for the Irrigation segment is cyclical and tied directly to farm profitability, commodity prices, water availability, and weather patterns. The Infrastructure segment sells moveable barrier systems, crash cushions, preformed reflective pavement tapes, and other road safety devices.
Irrigation segment: center pivot irrigation systems, lateral move irrigation systems, hose reel irrigation systems, irrigation controls, chemical injection systems, remote monitoring systems, and the FieldNET Advisor cloud-based irrigation scheduling platform.

Irrigation customers are farmers, reached through an independent global dealer network. Infrastructure customers include highway authorities and road construction entities, served through geographically domiciled distributors and direct sales.
