The record is short and irregular. The table holds six payments, starting with $1.00 per share that went ex-dividend in December 2023. In June 2024, two payments shared one ex-date, $0.66 and $1.00 per share, both paid in July. In June 2025, two payments again shared one ex-date, $0.95 and $1.05 per share, also paid in July. The June 2026 payment of $1.03 is the only one listed for that year. Payments by calendar year were $1.66 in 2024 and $2.00 in 2025. The source gives a growth streak of one year. After December 2023, every payment has gone ex-dividend in June.
If the pattern of the last three years holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-June 2027 and be paid in mid-July. With so few payments in the table, both the number of payments in a year and their size have varied.
