The 2026 raise was smaller, five cents or about 3.3%. Since December 2021, the quarterly rate has grown 56%. Payments by calendar year rose from $4.48 in 2022 to $6.04 in 2025. The source lists a dividend growth streak of four years.

Ex-dates fall in early March, June, September and December, with payment about two weeks later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early December 2026 and be paid around mid-to-late December. The payment after that, in March, is where past raises have appeared.
