The raises were one to three cents, or roughly 1.2% to 3.9%, and they have become smaller over time. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 10.5%. Payments by calendar year rose from $3.07 in 2022 to $3.33 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-December 2026 and be paid in early January 2027. That is the payment where past raises have appeared.
