The raises ranged from five to twenty cents, or roughly 9.1% to 33.3%, and the 2026 raise was the largest in the table. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 142%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.60 in 2022 to $2.40 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 early November 2026 and be paid in mid-November. Past raises have come with the February payment, not the November one.
