- Norfolk Southern set November 6 as the record date for the next quarterly shareholder distribution.
- The railroad has paid common-stock dividends for 177 consecutive quarters since its formation in 1982.
- The company operates a freight network spanning 22 U.S. states.
Norfolk Southern Corporation announced on October 21 that shareholders of record on November 6 will receive the company’s next quarterly dividend on November 20. The railroad set the distribution at 1.35 US dollars per common share, according to the Norfolk Southern announcement.
The November 6 record date is the next shareholder milestone, while the scheduled payment date is November 20. The company said the dividend extends a record of 177 consecutive quarterly common-stock payments dating back to its formation in 1982.
Payment dates shape the near-term focus
For income-oriented investors, the announcement fixes the timing of the next cash distribution but does not change the stated payment amount. The release provides no new dividend-growth guidance or broader capital-allocation target, so the near-term focus remains the record-date eligibility and the later payment.
Norfolk Southern operates a 22-state freight transportation network and says its rail system connects with major container ports across the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast and Great Lakes. The company also describes its intermodal network as the most extensive in the eastern United States.
