In 2026 both payments were $0.30. Calendar-year totals rose every year, from $0.17 in 2021 to $0.31 in 2022, $0.38 in 2023, $0.42 in 2024, $0.43 in 2025 and $0.60 in 2026, about 39.5% above 2025. The source lists a growth streak of five years. The oldest row is a single $0.30 payment in February 2020, with no August payment that year.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late February 2027 and be paid around the start of April 2027.
