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 3.3%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.5125 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 19, 2026. A beta of 0.263 makes ED stock one of the lower-volatility options in the market, which suits income investors who prioritize predictability over price swings.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. pays out 54.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer, supported by the company's regulated electricity, natural gas, and steam distribution operations serving millions of customers in the New York metro area — demand that does not disappear in a downturn. Consolidated Edison, Inc. dividend safety benefits from this regulated structure, though the company's concentration in a single metro region means any significant regulatory or rate-case setback in New York could pressure future payout capacity.
Over the past 14 years, Consolidated Edison, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.5% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $2.40 to $3.40 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 0.8% in 2012. Growth is slow, and income investors relying on ED to outpace inflation will find the pace modest at best.
| 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. fits income-focused investors who want a low-volatility utility anchored in one of the most densely populated service territories in the country. The current yield of 3.3% falls in the moderate (2–4%) range, sitting above the 5-year average of 3.05%, which means today's entry point offers a slightly better income rate than the recent norm. As a Dividend Aristocrat with 37 consecutive years of dividend increases, ED brings a long, unbroken growth streak to the table. The trade-off is clear: the dividend grows slowly at 2.5% per year, so investors gain income reliability and low volatility, but not meaningful dividend acceleration.
ED is a Dividend Aristocrat with 37 consecutive years of dividend increases.
