PSEG stock closed at USD 72.52 on the NYSE on September 9, 2026, a decline of 0.9 percent from the prior session and a new 52-week low for the shares. On the same day, the stock traded ex-dividend for a quarterly payment of USD 0.67 per share, putting additional pressure on the price compared with the prior close. In comparison, the S&P 500 ended September 9, 2026 down 0.6 percent at 7,673.52, so the stock underperformed the broader market into today's session.
September 9, 2026 in numbers
Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (ISIN US7445731067, NYSE: PEG) saw its shares reach a 52-week low as they closed at USD 72.52 on the NYSE on September 9, 2026, placing the stock around 17 percent below its 52-week high of USD 87.63. According to Investing.com, this close at USD 72.52 represented a notable move lower within the stock's one-year trading range and highlighted that the shares were down 11.11 percent over the past twelve months. The same report noted that the stock stood roughly 17 percent below the 52-week high of USD 87.63, underlining the extent of the drawdown as of September 9, 2026.
The session also coincided with the shares trading ex-dividend. As GuruFocus reported on September 9, 2026, Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. has set a total dividend of USD 0.67 per share for the current quarter, with the ex-dividend date on September 9, 2026 and an annualized dividend of USD 2.68 per share that implies a yield of about 3.7 percent at recent prices. The ex-dividend adjustment means that part of the share price decline on September 9, 2026 reflects the technical deduction of the dividend amount from the stock price rather than a pure change in market valuation. In the broader market backdrop, the S&P 500 closed at 7,673.52 on September 9, 2026, down 0.6 percent on the day, according to a wrap of United States equity trading from Yahoo Finance, showing that the stock's 0.9 percent decline slightly exceeded the index move.
Dividend context today
Today's session follows directly after the ex-dividend date for the USD 0.67 per share payout that was set for September 9, 2026. As Yahoo Finance and GuruFocus both highlighted on September 9, 2026, shareholders of record as of that date will be eligible for the USD 0.67 dividend, contributing to an annualized distribution of USD 2.68 per share. Against this backdrop, today the market can again focus more on fundamentals and interest-rate expectations for utilities after the technical ex-dividend adjustment has been absorbed in the prior session. Broader equity sentiment, as reflected by the 0.6 percent decline in the S&P 500 on September 9, 2026, remains an important reference point for how rate-sensitive and defensive names trade as investors head into today's United States open.
