Jan 27, 2026 (MarketLine via COMTEX) --
Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) declared a quarterly dividend of 88.75 cents a share on its common stock, payable March 16, 2026 to stockholders of record as of February 18, 2026, an annualized increase of 15 cents over the previous annualized dividend of $3.40 a share.
"The 52nd consecutive annual dividend increase for stockholders extends our record for the longest period of consecutive annual dividend increases of any utility in the S&P 500 index and reflects our continued emphasis on providing a return to our investors while delivering safe, reliable and resilient service to our customers during the clean energy transition," said Kirk Andrews, Con Edison's senior vice president and chief financial officer. The company continues to target a dividend payout ratio of between 55% and 65% of its adjusted earnings.
This press release contains a forward-looking statement that reflects an expectation and not a fact. Actual results may differ materially from this expectation because of factors such as those identified in reports the company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Con Edison assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This press release also refers to a financial measure, adjusted earnings, that is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income for common stock (which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP) and excludes certain items that the company does not consider indicative of its ongoing financial performance.
