Sempra said on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, that its board had declared a quarterly dividend of 0.6575 US dollars per common share. The payment is scheduled for January 15, 2027, for shareholders of record at the close of business on December 10, according to the Sempra release.

Sempra stock traded at 70.77 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 13:59 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The quote provides a live trading reference, while the company's dividend announcement remains the main new corporate event for income-focused investors.

Income support meets investment demands

The dividend decision comes after Sempra's third-quarter update, which showed a sharp increase in reported earnings and continued investment across its regulated utility businesses. For the three months ended September 30, Sempra reported GAAP earnings attributable to common shares of 877 million US dollars, compared with 77 million US dollars a year earlier. Adjusted earnings rose to 917 million US dollars from 728 million US dollars.

The company said its Texas utility business benefited from higher equity earnings from Oncor, new base rates, regulatory mechanisms and stronger customer consumption. Oncor also reached a system peak demand of 33.3 gigawatts during the quarter, up 6 percent from the prior-year record. Sempra expects Oncor's 2027-2031 base capital plan to increase by approximately 20 percent from the current 2026-2030 plan.

California remains a counterweight to the Texas expansion story. Sempra said a proposed California Public Utilities Commission decision could leave its California segment at the low end of its 2027 earnings guidance if the company cannot secure a correction or other mitigation. The company has affirmed a 2027 earnings-per-share range of 5.10 to 5.70 US dollars and expects to provide a broader capital-plan update with its fourth-quarter results in February.

What the dividend means for investors

The declared payment reinforces Sempra's income appeal, but the investment case still depends on the balance between regulated growth, financing needs and regulatory recovery. Texas offers a larger infrastructure opportunity as electricity demand rises, while California decisions can influence the timing and level of earnings available from the utility base.

The January payment is not a promise of future increases. Investors will next focus on the December record date, the planned sale of a 45 percent equity interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners, and the company's February update on capital spending and earnings growth.
