New Jersey Resources stock was trading at USD 51.93 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, down 0.56 percent from the previous close. The company has raised its quarterly dividend from USD 0.475 to USD 0.50 per share, with the new payment scheduled for October 1, 2026, according to BusinessWire on September 10, 2026.
Dividend reaches USD 2.00 annually
The higher quarterly rate lifts the annual dividend to USD 2.00 per share. The record date is September 24, 2026, and the increase marks the 31st consecutive year of dividend growth, according to BusinessWire.
The dividend change is also material against the prior payout. USD 0.50 is 5.3 percent higher than USD 0.475, while the annualized amount gives the stock a defined income profile at a USD 51.93 share price.
Quarterly earnings reverse a loss
New Jersey Resources reported fiscal Q3 2026 results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net income was USD 9.7 million, or USD 0.10 per share, compared with a USD 15.1 million net loss, or USD 0.15 per share, in fiscal Q3 2025, according to Yahoo Finance on August 3, 2026.
That comparison matters more than the quarter's absolute profit: the business moved from negative earnings to positive earnings year over year. Net financial earnings also reached USD 11.3 million in fiscal Q3 2026, versus USD 6.2 million in the prior-year quarter, according to Yahoo Finance.
Stock remains below yearly high
The share price stood 14.7 percent below its 52-week high of USD 60.86 and USD 8.47 above its 52-week low of USD 43.46 on September 24, 2026. New Jersey Resources had a market capitalization of USD 5,240,879,460 at the same intraday snapshot.
For investors, the current setup combines a higher cash distribution with a measurable earnings recovery. The next test is whether fiscal 2026 earnings can support the company guidance range of USD 3.52 to USD 3.62 in net financial earnings per share, as reported by Yahoo Finance.
