Alphabet, Exelon, and Patterson-UTI Announce Dividend Payments in September
In late September 2026, Alphabet (GOOGL), Exelon (EXC), and Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) each distributed dividends to shareholders. Collectively, the three companies paid $0.74 per share across two trading days—$0.22 from Alphabet on September 14, followed by $0.42 from Exelon and $0.10 from PTEN on September 15. Alphabet’s dividend remained steady at $0.22 quarterly for the second consecutive payment after a small increase in March 2026. The company is investing heavily in AI infrastructure, which led to negative free cash flow of -$5.86 billion in Q2 FY26 and suspended its buyback program during that period. Exelon maintained its $0.42 quarterly dividend for the third consecutive quarter as part of a capital plan targeting 5% annual growth with a payout ratio of around 60%. Patterson-UTI Energy, meanwhile, raised its quarterly payment by 25%, from $0.08 to $0.10 per share.
