Consolidated Edison, Inc. dividend has been paid without interruption for decades, backed by a utility that supplies electric power to approximately 3.5 million customers across New York City and Westchester County. The current yield stands at 3.05%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.4750 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is May 13, 2026, and the last payment was $0.8875 per share. With a beta of 0.264, ED stock moves far less than the broader market, which suits income-focused investors who prioritize predictability over price appreciation.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. pays out 55.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer of retained earnings, supported by the company's regulated electricity, natural gas, and steam distribution operations serving millions of customers in New York City and surrounding areas — demand that does not disappear in economic downturns. Consolidated Edison, Inc. dividend safety is further reinforced by the regulated nature of its business, though large capital requirements for infrastructure like its 4,350 miles of gas pipelines and 2,291 miles of underground cabling represent an ongoing cost that competes with dividend capacity.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.5% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $2.40 to $3.40 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 0.8% in 2012, and the largest was 3.6% in 2018. Growth is slow by most standards, which means the dividend adds income but does not meaningfully compound purchasing power over time.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +2.5% | $3.16 (2022) | $3.40 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +2.1% | $3.06 (2020) | $3.40 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +2.7% | $2.60 (2015) | $3.40 (2025) |
Consolidated Edison, Inc. suits income-focused investors who want a utility anchored in one of the most densely populated service territories in the United States. The current yield of 3.05% falls in the moderate (2-4%) range and sits above the 5-year average yield of 2.85%, meaning today's entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. As a Dividend Aristocrat with 37 consecutive years of dividend increases, ED has demonstrated a long, unbroken record of annual raises. The trade-off is clear: growth at 2.5% per year barely keeps pace with inflation, so what investors gain in predictability, they give up in dividend acceleration.
