Ameren Raises Dividend 5.6% to $0.75/Quarter → 13th Consecutive Year, New Nuclear Expert Board Member

Ameren Corporation raised its quarterly dividend 5.6% to $0.75 per share, marking the 13th consecutive year of dividend growth, while appointing a new nuclear energy expert to its board as the Missouri utility evaluates nuclear generation options. Analysts hold a Buy consensus with an average price target of $113.30, reflecting the regulated utility's steady rate base growth from its $25 billion capital plan. Risks include Missouri regulatory review of nuclear investments, rising construction costs for grid modernization, and interest rate pressure on the capital-intensive regulated utility business model.
