How EIX's dividend compares
Across the 587 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.81%. EIX's 5.12% is 1.31 percentage points above that median, ranking 240th of 587 by yield.
Within Utilities, where we track 26 names, the median yield is 3.21% — putting EIX above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.
Its 21-year run of dividend increases ranks 72nd out of the 362 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
EIX pays out roughly 70% of its earnings as dividends. That is on the higher side — still common for utilities and consumer staples, but it leaves less cushion if earnings dip.
Like most US dividend payers, EIX distributes quarterly, so a full year of ownership produces four payments.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
