Avista Corp's dividend schedule
Avista Corp has paid quarterly across the 39 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 18, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, AVA declares a dividend a median of 14 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice AVA gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 22 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 25 raises in our record, most take effect with the February payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.

- Avista Corp has historically paid quarterly, across 158 payments since February 1987.
- How much does AVA pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.493 per share, with an ex-date of August 18, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.972 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
