Eastern pays a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 14, 2026 and was paid on September 15, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.44 per share, a yield of 1.76% at a share price of $25.04.
The record is flat. All twenty payments in the table, from November 2021 to August 2026, are $0.11 per share. Payments by calendar year were $0.44 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The table shows no raise and no reduction over almost five years, and the source gives no growth streak.
The timing is just as steady. Ex-dates usually fall in the middle of February, May, August and November, and payment follows on or near the 15th of the next month, in March, June, September and December. One exception was the first payment of 2022, which went ex-dividend on February 28 rather than mid-month. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around December 15.
