The record shows a steady annual rhythm. CNO Financial has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in June. The rate went from $0.13 to $0.14 in 2022, then to $0.15 in 2023, $0.16 in 2024, $0.17 in 2025 and $0.18 in 2026. Each raise was one cent, or roughly 5.9% to 7.7%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 38%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.55 in 2022 to $0.67 in 2025, about 22% more. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around December 10, 2026 and be paid in late December. Past raises have come with the June payment, not the December one.
