The record is irregular. The table lists five distributions, all with ex-dates in the second half of December, in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025. No distribution is listed for 2022 or 2023, and the December 2020 entry shows $0.00 per share. The December 2021 distribution of $4.47 was unusually large, far above every other amount in the table.

The other distributions were small: $0.14 in 2019, $0.04 in 2024 and $0.08 in 2025. The 2025 amount was double the 2024 one, and the source counts a growth streak of one year on that basis. Payment followed the ex-date by one to seven days. No distribution with a 2026 ex-date is listed yet. If the year-end pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026.
