The table lists seven annual distributions, from December 2019 to December 2025, and the amount has varied a lot from year to year. It was $0.15 in 2019, $0.12 in 2020 and $0.08 in 2021, the smallest in the table. It then rose to $0.24 in 2022, fell to $0.15 in 2023 and reached $0.39 in 2024, the largest listed. The 2025 distribution of $0.21 was about 46% below the 2024 one. Because the amounts move up and down without a steady direction, the source does not report a growth streak.
Every listed ex-date falls in the second half of December, between December 22 and December 27, and payment follows within about a week, before the end of the year. If the annual pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid by the end of that month.
