The record shows a regular annual rhythm. California Water Service has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in February. The rate went from $0.25 to $0.26 in 2023, then to $0.28 in 2024, $0.30 in 2025 and $0.34 in 2026. The latest raise was four cents, or about 13.3%. Since early 2022, the quarterly rate has grown 36%. In February 2025 there was also a separate $0.04 payment on the same ex-date as the regular $0.30 payment. Leaving that one out, payments by calendar year rose from $1.00 in 2022 to $1.20 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for four consecutive calendar years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid in late November. Past raises have come with the February payment, not the November one.
