Analysis

On Apr 30, the first trading day after this news, the stock closed 6.9% below the previous close. A negative reaction despite the continuation of the 325th consecutive quarterly dividend would fit past mixed trading around management/dividend news, which averaged about -0.38%. The news confirmed stability rather than introducing a new growth driver, so a selloff could have reflected profit-taking above the 200-day MA or rotation within regulated utilities, rather than any change in the underlying dividend policy.
