BlackRock Utilities pays a monthly dividend of $0.15 per share. Three payments are already declared. The first has an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of October 15, 2026, followed by November 13 and December 11. The last of these is payable on December 22, 2026. The most recent paid one went ex-dividend on September 15, 2026 and was paid on September 30. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $2.72 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 10.79% at a share price of $25.25.

The regular rate was $0.14 from June 2025 to June 2026 and rose to $0.15 with the July 2026 payment, about 7.1% higher. That is the only change in the table, which reaches back just to June 2025. On December 22, 2025 there was also an unusually large extra payment of $1.04 per share, on the same ex-date as a regular $0.14 payment. That extra payment falls inside the trailing twelve months. The source gives a growth streak of one year.

Ex-dates fall around the middle of each month, with payment near month-end. If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared December one would go ex-dividend in mid to late January 2027 and be paid at the end of that month.
