The raises ranged from two to five cents, or roughly 3.8% to 13.9%, and have been smaller in recent years. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown 50%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.64 in 2022 to $2.08 in 2025. The company has increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late December 2026 and be paid around January 9, 2027. Past raises have come with the March payment, not the December one.
