This was Chesapeake Utilities&#39; first Investor Day in seven years and was driven by increased interest and engagement with investors and the broader financial community following the acquisition of Florida City Gas (FCG) in late 2023. The event took place within FCG&#39;s service area and highlighted potential future growth opportunities, including growing interest from industries at the Cape and Port of Canaveral.
The Company also provided updates on projects that support the Company&#39;s 5-year capital expenditure guidance of $1.5 - $1.8 billion. This investment plan is driven by significant growth in our Florida and Delmarva service areas, enabling us to reaffirm our 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) guidance of $6.15 - $6.35, which reflects a 14 &ndash; 18% increase over 2024 adjusted EPS.

Chesapeake Utilities' Subsidiary Peninsula Pipeline Company Receives Approval From Florida Public Service Commission For Three Projects Expanding Natural Gas Infrastructure To Benefit Florida City Gas Customers

National Fuel Gas Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nfg#NYSE">NFG</a>) announced that its board of directors has approved a 4% increase in its quarterly dividend rate. The company has paid dividends for 122 consecutive years, and this marks its annual dividend hike for 54 consecutive years. The new dividend rate will be 51.5 cents per share compared with the previous quarter&#39;s 49.5 cents, payable on Jul 15, 2024, to stockholders of record as of Jun 28. 
This increase resulted in an annualized dividend of $2.06 per share compared with the previous level of $1.98. National Fuel Gas&#39; current dividend yield is 3.6%, higher than the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s average of 1.36%.
<h3>Can NFG Sustain Dividend Hikes?</h3>
The company&#39;s systematic capital spending to strengthen its natural gas and oil operations is positively impacting its total production. It has been consistently increasing its total production since fiscal 2015. Also, National Fuel Gas&#39; acquisition of Royal Dutch Shell&#39;s upstream and midstream assets in Pennsylvania for $500 million boosted its earnings and production. 
Since 2010, National Fuel Gas Company has invested $2.7 billion in midstream operations to expand and modernize its pipeline infrastructure to gain access to Appalachian production. The company has more than $500 million in investment planned over the next five years for the modernization of pipeline transportation and distribution systems. 
At present, its midstream operation has 4.5 million dekatherms of daily interstate pipeline capacity under contract. On completion, these projects are expected to further boost the pipeline capacity and annual revenues of the company. 
NFG has the potential to expand and improve even further, which suggests that management will have sufficient funds to continue with its shareholder-friendly activities in the future.
<h3>Legacy of Dividend Payment</h3>
Companies involved in utility services generally have stable operations and earnings. Consistent performance, regulated returns and the ability to generate cash flows allow utilities to reward shareholders with regular dividends. 
In the past few months, Chesapeake Utilities Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpk#NYSE">CPK</a>), The Southern Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/so#NYSE">SO</a>) and FirstEnergy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fe#NYSE">FE</a>) have raised their quarterly dividend rate by 8.5%, 2.9% and 3.6%, respectively. 
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Chesapeake Utilities&#39; 2024 earnings is pegged at $5.41 per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 1.9%. CPK&#39;s current dividend yield is 2.21%. 
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Southern Company&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $3.99 per share, implying a year-over-year increase of 9.3%. SO&#39;s current dividend yield is 3.66%.
