Utility stocks, utility stocks, utility stocks!

In today’s dispatch, we’ve got three utility companies declaring their latest dividends. And one of these firms actually predates the lightbulb.

Alright, enough preamble. Let’s get down to business…

Consolidated Edison, Inc. ($ED) Declares $0.85 Dividend

While it’s easy to assume that Consolidated Edison, Inc. was created by Thomas Edison, the company actually predates Edison’s invention of the lightbulb. Initially called "The New-York Gas light Company," and founded in 1823, this utility firm actually purchased Edison Illuminating Company in the early 1900’s.

Today, Consolidated Edison is one of largest investor-owned energy companies in the United States. The company provides electricity and gas services throughout New York and New Jersey.

Last week, the firm announced its latest dividend payment.

Consolidated Edison, Inc. will pay an $0.85/share quarterly dividend that is in-line with the previous quarter.

  • Ex-dividend date: 11/19/25

  • Payout date: 12/15/25

  • Forward starting dividend yield: 3.36%

WEC Energy Group, Inc. will pay an $0.8925/share quarterly dividend, in-line with prior.

The second Midwest utility company in today’s dispatch, Alliant Energy Corporation provides regulated electricity and gas to over one million customers in Iowa and Wisconsin.
