IDACORP, Inc. (NYSE: IDA) has announced an increase in its regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.86 per share, resulting in an indicated annual dividend of $3.44 per share. This marks the company's 13th consecutive year of dividend increases since 2011, with a cumulative increase of 187% and a compound annual growth rate of 7.8%.

CEO Lisa Grow highlighted the company's commitment to reinvesting in Idaho Power's growth while managing dilution. IDACORP expects to decouple dividend and earnings per share growth rates, maintaining a long-term target dividend payout ratio of 60% to 70% of sustainable earnings. However, the near-term payout ratio may fall below this range. The actual dividend declaration and approval remain at the Board's discretion, considering various financial and economic factors.

IDACORP si aspetta di scindere i tassi di crescita del dividendo e dell'utile per azione, mantenendo un rapporto di distribuzione dei dividendi target a lungo termine del 60% al 70% degli utili sostenibili. Tuttavia, il rapporto di distribuzione a breve termine potrebbe scendere al di sotto di questo intervallo. La dichiarazione e l'approvazione effettiva del dividendo rimangono a discrezione del Consiglio, prendendo in considerazione vari fattori finanziari ed economici.

BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IDACORP, Inc. (NYSE: IDA) announced today that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend on IDACORP’s common stock to $0.86 per share. At the new rate, the indicated dividend is $3.44 per share on an annual basis.
