Northwest Natural Holding Company ( NWN ) Q3 2026 Earnings Call November 5, 2026 11:00 AM EST Company Participants Nikki Sparley - Director of Investor Relations & Treasury Justin Palfreyman - President, CEO & Director Raymond Kaszuba - Senior VP & CFO Conference Call Participants Constantine Lednev - Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division Richard Sunderland - Truist Securities, Inc., Research Division Dylan Lipner - Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Research Division Alexis Kania - BTIG, LLC, Research Division Presentation Operator Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to the Northwest Natural Holding Company Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Call.

A Pacific Northwest gas utility expanding into Texas squares off against a New Jersey water company staring down a quarter-billion-dollar cleanup bill, and for retirees living on dividends, picking the wrong one could cost them years of income growth.

A dividend that has risen every year for seven decades has seen a lot.

I track dividend announcements across 1,200+ stocks. This week, I'm highlighting 5 dividend increases. RPM announced the largest dividend increase this week of 5.56% and boasts the highest Quality Score (7.10). LMT raised its dividend by 4.35%, marking its 24th consecutive annual increase. Its payout ratio is well covered at 50%, and it has an A+ Dividend Safety Grade.

Two of these obscure dividend stocks have raised their payouts for 56 straight years, longer than most household names, yet they trade at a fraction of the attention.

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NW Natural Holdings Schedules Earnings Release and Conference Call for Thursday, Nov. 5.
