The record shows a raise once a year. The rate went from $0.60 to $0.63 with the payment that went ex-dividend in November 2022. Since then, raises have landed on the February payment: to $0.65 in 2024, $0.68 in 2025 and $0.70 in 2026. Each raise was two or three cents, or roughly 2.9% to 5.0%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 17%. The source states that Black Hills has increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.

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.
