Payments resumed at $0.10 per share for three quarters in 2023. The rate rose to $0.13 with the payment that went ex-dividend in January 2024, a 30% increase, and it has stayed there since, including the declared October payment. The $0.13 rate is still below the $0.18 paid in 2021 and 2022. The source does not give a growth streak.
If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in early to mid-January 2027 and be paid in late January. Since 2024, ex-dates have fallen in January, April, July and October.
