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>
