Sempra is an energy holding company serving tens of millions of customers across California and Texas through regulated gas and electric utilities. The Sempra dividend currently yields 3.1%, 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-focused 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 its core businesses: San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas, and the Texas Utilities segment collectively serve tens of millions of customers under frameworks that generate predictable, recurring 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 rate calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 25.0%, recorded in 2012. Growth is slow by most standards, and the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the history is not uninterrupted.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -17.4% | $4.58 (2022) | $2.58 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -9.2% | $4.18 (2020) | $2.58 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -0.8% | $2.80 (2015) | $2.58 (2025) |
SRE stock fits income-focused investors who want exposure to large-scale regulated utilities and can accept a moderate yield with limited growth. The current yield of 3.1% sits in the moderate (2-4%) range, and it runs below the 5-year average yield of 4.19%, meaning buyers today are getting less income relative to price than the historical norm. The 3.2% annual dividend growth rate barely keeps pace with inflation. What an investor gets here is low market sensitivity (beta of 0.564) and a business serving roughly 22 million gas customers in California alone. The trade-off is a payout ratio of 90.7% that leaves little cushion, and a growth rate that limits income compounding over time.
