The raises ranged from two to five cents, or about 4.1% to 9.1%, and the last two were the largest in the table. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 30%, close to 7% a year. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.87 in 2022 to $2.25 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around the start of December. That is the payment where past raises have appeared.
