Southern Company announces dividend per Southern Company stock

Southern Company (ISIN US8425871071) announced a regular quarterly dividend of 76 cents per common share on October 20, 2026. According to the company's release carried by PR Newswire, the payment is scheduled for December 7, 2026, and shareholders must be recorded by November 16, 2026.

Dividend terms stay unchanged

The 76-cent payment is a regular quarterly dividend on Southern Company's common stock. The company also said the dividend has been maintained at a level equal to or higher than the previous quarter for 79 consecutive years, according to the October 20 release.

That history gives the announcement a continuity angle rather than a change in the payout rate. The release did not describe a new increase, so the central investor reference is the payment schedule and the record-date requirement.

What do the dates mean

November 16, 2026 is the record date named in the release. December 7, 2026 is the scheduled payment date, making the two dates the practical timeline for shareholders tracking the declared distribution.

Southern Company operates electric utilities and other energy businesses and serves 9 million customers, while the release said nearly 30,000 employees support its operations. Those figures place the dividend announcement within a large regulated utility business, but they do not change the declared payment terms.
