<p><strong>Primo Water </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prmw#NYSE">PRMW</a>) announced that its board of directors has approved a special dividend of 82 cents, which reflects an increase of 811% from its quarterly dividend rate of 9 cents. It will be payable on Nov. 21, 2024, to stockholders of record as of Nov. 5, 2024.</p>
<h2>Rationale Behind PRMW&#39;s Special Dividend</h2>
<p>The special dividend came after Primo Water announced the receipt of regulatory approval under the Investment Canada Act in connection with the previously announced all-stock combination of Primo Water and BlueTriton, Inc. The transaction is expected to be closed by the end of 2024.</p>
<p>According to Primo Water, the combination of Primo Water and BlueTriton and their extensive brand and product portfolios should better position the companies to meet their customers&#39; demands and provide quality customer service.</p>
<h2>Can PRMW Continue to Increase Shareholders&#39; Value?</h2>
<p>The company continues to benefit from organic customer growth and strategic investment plans. The increasing water demand should also boost the company&#39;s performance. The second-quarter 2024 revenues increased 7.6% year over year. Organic growth contributed 6.6% to the top line.</p>
<p>Primo Water is still performing well on the basis of its precise and targeted plan. Consequently, the company is achieving balanced and broad-based rapid top-line growth. Strong profit growth can be attributed to its productivity and growth initiatives, which also enable margin improvement.</p>
<p>Since the beginning of this year, the company has embraced a new strategy that includes a focus on customer-centric initiatives, must-win priorities, and a commercial and growth mindset leveraging its portfolio of hydration solutions.</p>
<p>PRMW is continuously investing in improving its infrastructure. Between 2021 and 2023, the company invested nearly $437.6 million, and it aims to invest $154.1 million in 2024.</p>
<p>Primo Water has the potential to expand and improve even further, which suggests that management will have sufficient funds to continue with its shareholder-friendly initiatives in the future.</p>
<h2>Utilities&#39; Legacy of Dividend Payment</h2>
<p>Utility service companies often have steady operations and earnings. Due to their capacity to create cash flows, manage returns and perform consistently, utilities can pay dividends to shareholders on a regular basis.</p>
<p>In the past few months, <strong>IDACORP </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ida#NYSE">IDA</a>), <strong>New Jersey Resources</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/njr#NYSE">NJR</a>) and <strong>American States Water </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/awr#NYSE">AWR</a>) have raised their quarterly dividend rate by 3.6%, 7.1% and 8.3%, respectively.</p>
<p>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IDACORP&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $5.39 per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 4.9%. IDA&#39;s current dividend yield is 3.2%.</p>
<p>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for New Jersey Resources&#39; fiscal 2024 earnings is pegged at $2.95 per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 10.1%. NJR&#39;s current dividend yield is 3.86%.</p>
<p>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for American States Water&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $3.03 per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 6.3%. AWR&#39;s current dividend yield is 2.17%.</p>
<h2>PRMW&#39;s Stock Price Performance</h2>

Contracts

American States Water Company Announces ~$350M Privatization Contract Over 50-Year Period At Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland

<p>Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>American States Water</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AWR#NYSE">AWR</a>). </p>
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
<p>The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 43 cents per share. On Monday, American States Water will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 43 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own AWR as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 43 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. </p>
<p>According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on September 01, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way. </p>
