The December 2025 distribution of $2.03 was unusually large compared with the earlier years in the table. It was about 154% more than the 2024 total and by far the largest single amount shown. The source counts a growth streak of one year based on calendar-year totals. No distribution with a 2026 ex-date is listed so far, and the trailing twelve-month figure rests on that single December payment. If the annual pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-December 2026 and be paid within a week.
