Dividend sets the shareholder calendar

According to GlobeNewswire on September 28, 2026, RGC Resources declared USD 0.2175 per common share for its 330th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The payment is scheduled for November 2, 2026, for shareholders of record on October 16, 2026.

The dividend matters because it gives the stock a defined near-term income event while the market weighs the latest operating figures. The payment amount annualizes to USD 0.87 per share, based on four quarterly distributions of USD 0.2175.

Revenue missed the latest consensus

RGC Resources reported USD 17.11 million of revenue and USD 0.05 of EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, according to MarketBeat. Revenue was below the USD 18.19 million consensus, while earnings per share missed the USD 0.06 estimate by USD 0.01.

The comparison points to a mixed operating picture: the revenue shortfall was larger than the earnings gap, but the company still produced positive quarterly net income of USD 558,900. RGC Resources describes its business as natural gas distribution and related infrastructure serving approximately 64,500 customers in and around Roanoke, Virginia, according to its RGC Resources investor-relations page.
