Exelon Corporation dividend income comes from one of the largest regulated electric and natural gas utility holding companies in the United States. EXC currently yields 4.02%, placing it in high-yield territory for the utilities sector. The trailing twelve-month dividend rate is $1.64 per share, paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date set for September 4, 2026. A beta of 0.402 means the stock moves far less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize low volatility over price appreciation.
Exelon Corporation pays out 60.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is supported by the company's regulated electricity and natural gas distribution business, where retail demand from residential, commercial, and industrial customers provides a recurring revenue base. Exelon Corporation dividend safety faces its main pressure from that same payout ratio: at 60.3%, there is limited room to absorb earnings pressure without affecting the dividend.
Exelon Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 0.4% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments moved from $1.4980 to $1.6000 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 23.5% in 2022, but that single jump stands out against a backdrop of near-flat growth in most other years. Growth is slow, and income investors relying on EXC for rising purchasing power will find the long-run trend offers little inflation protection.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +5.8% | $1.35 (2022) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.9% | $1.09 (2020) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +6.1% | $0.88 (2015) | $1.60 (2025) |
EXC fits income-focused investors who want above-average yield from a regulated utility business and can accept minimal dividend growth in exchange. The current yield of 4.02% sits above the 5-year average of 3.5%, meaning buyers today are locking in a higher income rate than the stock has historically offered. That is the core appeal. The trade-off is a 0.4% annual growth rate that barely moves the needle on income over time, and a payout ratio at the elevated (60–75%) level that leaves a narrow buffer. Eleven consecutive years of dividend increases show the company has prioritized maintaining the streak, but the pace of those increases has been modest.
