The record shows a steady annual rhythm. First American Financial has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in September. The rate went from $0.51 to $0.52 in 2022, then to $0.53 in 2023, $0.54 in 2024 and $0.55 in 2025. Each of those raises was one cent, or roughly 1.9% to 2.0%. The 2026 raise was larger, from $0.55 to $0.61, about 10.9%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 19.6%. Payments by calendar year rose from $2.06 in 2022 to $2.18 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early December 2026 and be paid in mid-December. Past raises have come with the September payment, not the December one.
