The POR dividend will remain at $0.5513 per share following Portland General Electric’s October 23, 2026 announcement. The utility also reaffirmed earnings-per-share guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 and disclosed plans for a 4.8% rate increase in its 2027 regulatory case, a proposal that still requires regulatory approval.
Key Takeaways
- The quarterly dividend is unchanged from the previous payout.
- Management maintained its earnings-per-share guidance of $3.33 to $3.53.
- The targeted 4.8% rate increase for 2027 is not an approved customer-rate change.

POR dividend schedule extends into January 2027
Portland General Electric, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under POR, will pay the declared quarterly dividend on January 15, 2027. The announcement maintains the existing per-share distribution rather than increasing it.
The payment falls in the next calendar year, while the record and ex-dividend dates fall in December 2026. Those dates define the distribution timetable separately from the company’s earnings outlook and proposed electricity-rate adjustment.

2027 rate proposal remains subject to Oregon review
Portland General Electric is a vertically integrated utility serving roughly half of Oregon’s population. Its retail electricity rates are regulated by the Oregon Public Utility Commission, so the targeted 4.8% increase is a regulatory objective rather than a completed price change.
The commission’s general rate case review process examines utility operating expenses, investments and capital costs. Commissioners must balance fair and reasonable customer rates with the utility’s opportunity to recover reasonable costs and earn a reasonable return on investment.
That process matters for interpreting the announcement: the proposed increase does not establish the eventual approved rate or its effect on individual customer bills. Separately, the reaffirmed $3.33 to $3.53 earnings-per-share range remains management guidance, not a reported earnings result.
Conclusion
The next confirmed date on the POR dividend calendar is December 22, 2026, the record and ex-dividend date, followed by payment on January 15, 2027. The separate 2027 rate proposal remains subject to Oregon regulatory review.
