Every one of the 20 payments in the table, with ex-dates from March 2025 to October 2026, is shown as $0.02 per share, so the record shows no visible change in the amount. The table starts in March 2025, so it holds no complete calendar year to compare. The source gives a growth streak of two years, which it bases on calendar-year totals.

Ex-dates usually fall between the 5th and the 11th of the month, with payment about two weeks later. March ex-dates have been paid on April 1. One exception stands out: December 2025 had two ex-dates, December 5 and December 23, and January 2026 had none. The December 23 payment was paid on January 9, 2026. If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared October one would go ex-dividend in early November 2026 and be paid around the third week of November.
