Natural gas and electricity retailer Just Energy (JE) announced yesterday its monthly July dividend of $0.07 Canadian per share, the same rate it's paid for the past three months after cutting the payout 32% from $0.10333 Canadian per share in April.
The board of directors said the dividend is payable on July 31 to the holders of record at the close of business on July 15. The energy retailer has made monthly payouts to investors under its current organization since 2011, but has been paying dividends to investors since 1997. The dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
