Avista raised its dividend with the payment that went ex-dividend in February in each year from 2022 to 2025.

The February 2026 payment stayed at $0.49, so the table shows no raise so far in 2026. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 17%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.76 in 2022 to $1.92 in 2024. The source gives a growth streak of five years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in the second half of November 2026 and be paid around December 15. Past raises have come with the February ex-date, not the November one.
