NEWARK, Del., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artesian Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ARTNA) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly dividend on the company's Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend of $0.3136 per share will be payable on February 25, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2026, representing an annualized dividend rate of $1.2544.

Artesian Resources offers fortress-like stability as a regulated water utility with a 4% dividend yield and 29-year growth streak. ARTNA is investing aggressively in infrastructure, supporting customer growth, and seeking a 10.75% revenue increase via regulatory approval. Shares trade at a forward P/E of 15.8, well below the 10-year average, implying a 15% discount to fair value and 21% upside potential for 2026.

Artesian Resources has grown its dividend for 29 consecutive years, which is a testament to its consistency as a dividend grower. The water utility continues to invest in its infrastructure to drive long-term diluted EPS growth. ARTNA is a financially stable water utility, which supports its continued capex.

The Dividend Growth Trifecta—quality, yield, and growth—remains my core focus for portfolio construction in an expensive market. Industry leaders like Ares Management Corporation and Blackstone Inc. offer superior risk-adjusted returns; I prefer buying dips in top names over chasing value in lower-quality peers. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF™ is off my buy list due to sector reconstitution and dimmed double-digit dividend growth prospects, despite holding a large position.
