Payments come on a fixed calendar. Ex-dividend dates fall in mid-February, May, August and November, and payment is made on or around the first day of the following month. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around December 1. Recent raises have come with the February payment, not the November one.
