Does WTRG pay dividends?
Yes. WTRG pays on a quarterly schedule, most recently $0.3610 per share with an ex-dividend date of 2026-08-01. To receive a payout you must own the shares before the ex-dividend date; buying on or after it means the previous holder collects that payment.
How the WTRG yield is calculated
The trailing yield divides the last twelve months of dividends per share ($1.39) by the latest market price. The forward yield annualizes the most recent payment across 4 payments per year, which reacts faster after a dividend raise or cut. A rising yield is only good news when it comes from a growing payout rather than a falling share price — check the annual history above and the WTRG DCF fair value page for the cash flow behind it.
