Good morning and happy Friday!

Do you have any options contracts expiring today? If so, I hope your trades are going well. On a more passive note, however, today is also a big day for dividend investing.

We’ve got two companies raising their dividend.

We’ve also got one business declaring its latest payout.

As usual, raises take priority, so let’s start with the biggest one first…

EQT Corporation ($EQT) Raises Dividend By 5%

EQT Corporation is a vertically integrated natural gas company that gathers, transports, and sells natural gas.

The company has been in business since 1888, although the firm hasn’t maintained a multigenerational dividend streak like some of its natural gas industry peers. Still, EQT Corporation made a major announcement yesterday when the firm declared a 5% dividend raise.

EQT Corporation will now pay a $0.165/share quarterly dividend.

  • Ex-dividend date: 11/5/25
