Sempra is a San Diego-based energy holding company serving tens of millions of customers across California and Texas through regulated gas and electric utilities. The Sempra dividend currently yields 3.19%, paid quarterly at $0.6575 per share, with the next ex-dividend date on September 24, 2026. Trailing annual payments total $2.6050 per share. With a beta of 0.564, SRE stock moves well below the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize low volatility over capital appreciation.
Sempra pays out 90.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That level is supported by the regulated nature of SRE's core businesses: San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern California Gas, and the Texas Utilities segment collectively serve tens of millions of customers under regulated frameworks that generate predictable revenue. Sempra dividend safety faces pressure from that same elevated payout, which leaves limited room to absorb earnings shortfalls without affecting the dividend.
Sempra dividend history shows a CAGR of 3.2% per year from 2009 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.56 to $2.58 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 25.0% in 2012, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.1% | $2.29 (2022) | $2.58 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +4.3% | $2.09 (2020) | $2.58 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +6.3% | $1.40 (2015) | $2.58 (2025) |
SRE stock fits income-focused investors drawn to large regulated utilities with broad customer bases and below-average market sensitivity. The current yield of 3.19% is moderate (2-4%), and it sits meaningfully below the 5-year average yield of 4.31%, which means buyers today are getting less income relative to recent history. The 90.7% payout ratio keeps the dividend well-funded by earnings but narrows the margin for accelerated growth. What an investor gets here is a low-beta income stream from a utility serving roughly 22 million gas customers and 3.8 million Texas electric customers. The trade-off is a yield that has compressed and a growth rate of 3.2% annually that barely outpaces inflation.
SRE is a Dividend Aristocrat with 25 consecutive years of dividend increases.
