Income Investor

The company reported a strong second quarter with adjusted net income of $236 million ($0.79 per share), compared with $151 million ($0.53 per share) in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings at Tampa Electric, Emera Energy Services, and New Mexico Gas Company, and lower corporate costs. Year-to-date adjusted net income was $615 million ($2.07 per share), compared with $367 million ($1.28 per share) for the first six months of 2024. In September, Emera announced a small 1% increase to its quarterly dividend, bringing it to $0.7325 per share ($2.93 a year). It marks the 19th consecutive year the company has increased its payout.
