The record shows a regular annual rhythm. Apple has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in May. The rate went from $0.22 to $0.23 in 2022, then to $0.24 in 2023, $0.25 in 2024, $0.26 in 2025 and $0.27 in 2026. Each raise was one cent, or roughly 3.9% to 4.5%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 23%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.91 in 2022 to $1.03 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for four consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early to mid November 2026 and be paid a few days later. Past raises have come with the May payment, not the November one.
