Exelon Corporation dividend investors are looking at a utility holding company that generates, delivers, and markets energy across the United States and Canada, drawing on a portfolio that spans nuclear, wind, hydroelectric, and solar assets. EXC currently pays a 3.8% dividend yield, with a trailing annual rate of $1.66 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 4, 2026. A beta of 0.389 points to low price volatility, which suits income-focused investors who prioritize predictability over capital gains.
Exelon Corporation pays out 59.9% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level is supported by the company's regulated transmission and distribution operations, which serve a broad customer base including commercial, industrial, governmental, and residential sectors, providing recurring demand for its services. Exelon Corporation dividend safety faces its most visible pressure from the dividend's own history: the per-share rate in 2025 ($1.60) still sits below the 2012 level ($2.10), showing that earnings have not always grown fast enough to push the payout higher.
Exelon Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of -1.8% per year from 2012 to 2025. Per-share payments moved from $2.10 in 2012 down to $1.60 by 2025 (with 2026 data partial and not included in the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 6.5% in 2023, which shows EXC can deliver meaningful raises in favorable years, but the long-run trend has been negative, not positive.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +5.8% | $1.35 (2022) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +0.9% | $1.53 (2020) | $1.60 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +2.6% | $1.24 (2015) | $1.60 (2025) |
Exelon Corporation fits income-focused investors who want a utility-backed payout with low price volatility, not dividend growth. The yield sits at a moderate (2-4%) 3.8%, above the stock's own 5-year average of 3.41%, which means the current entry point offers a better-than-average income rate relative to EXC's recent history. The payout ratio of 59.9% keeps the dividend from looking stretched. The trade-off is clear: the long-run CAGR of -1.8% means the per-share payment has shrunk over time, so purchasing power from the dividend alone does not grow. An investor gets a low-volatility utility payer with a yield above its own historical average, and accepts that dividend growth has been absent over the full window.
