Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed July 17, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE) announced on July 16, 2025 that its board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $1.03a per share, unchanged from the prior quarter.
On an annualized basis, this equals $4.12b per share. The filing is a routine Regulation FD disclosure furnished under Items 7.01 and 8.01, with the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1. The dividend is payable August 14, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2025.
For income-focused investors, the key takeaway is the maintained payout level rather than any increase, which signals the board's continued confidence in cash flow coverage but offers no growth signal in this announcement. The filing contains no financial results, guidance changes, or operational updates. The press release describes ONEOK as a leading midstream operator with roughly 60,000 miles of pipelines spanning gathering, processing, fractionation, transportation, storage, and marine export services.
The company is in the S&P 500. Investors seeking fundamental drivers should look to the company's periodic reports (10-Q/10-K) and earnings materials rather than this dividend notice.
