Consolidated Edison's core rate-regulated electric and natural gas distribution utilities in New York and New Jersey have produced stable earnings and dividend growth despite regulatory challenges.
Con Ed is a holding company for Consolidated Edison of New York, or CECONY, and Orange & Rockland, or O&R. These utilities provide steam, natural gas, and electricity to customers in southeastern New York—including New York City—and small parts of New Jersey. The two utilities will generate nearly all of Con Ed's earnings once it closes the sale of its clean energy business to RWE. Con Ed's only remaining non-utility earnings are from investments in gas and electric transmission.
Yes. ED has a forward dividend yield of 3.46%.

Dividend yield allows investors, particularly those interested in dividend-paying stocks,
to compare the relationship between a stock’s price and how it rewards stockholders through dividends.
The formula for calculating dividend yield is to divide the annual dividend paid per share by the stock price.

ED’s stock style is Mid Core.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
