The record shows a steady annual rhythm. CMS Energy has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in February. The rate went from $0.44 to $0.46 in 2022, then to $0.49 in 2023, $0.52 in 2024, $0.54 in 2025 and $0.57 in 2026. Each raise was two or three cents, or roughly 3.8% to 6.5%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 30%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.84 in 2022 to $2.16 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early to mid-November 2026 and be paid in late November. The payment after that, in February, is where past raises have appeared.
