Since then, Delta has raised the dividend once a year, each time with the summer payment: to $0.15 in 2024, $0.19 in 2025 and $0.22 in 2026. The raises were five, four and three cents, or about 50%, 27% and 16%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.50 in 2024 to $0.68 in 2025. The source lists a growth streak of one year. In recent years, ex-dates have fallen in late February, mid-May, July and mid-October.

If the pattern holds, the payment after the scheduled one would go ex-dividend in late February 2027 and be paid in mid-March.
