Later raises took it to $1.40 in 2023, $1.54 in 2024 and $1.70 in 2025, each between 14 and 16 cents, or about 10.0% to 12.0%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 63%. Payments by calendar year rose from $4.16 in 2022 to $6.16 in 2025, and the four paid in 2026 total $6.80. The company has increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid on January 1, 2027. That is the payment where past raises have appeared.
