First Bancorp pays a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 27, 2026 and was paid on September 11, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.78 per share, a yield of about 2.92% at a share price of $26.74.

The record shows a steady annual rhythm of two-cent raises. The rate went from $0.10 to $0.12 with the payment that went ex-dividend in May 2022. Since then, each raise has come with the payment that goes ex-dividend in February: $0.14 in 2023, $0.16 in 2024, $0.18 in 2025 and $0.20 in 2026. In percentage terms, the raises shrank from 20% in 2022 to about 11.1% in 2026, as the same two-cent step was applied to a larger base. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has doubled. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.46 in 2022 to $0.72 in 2025, about 56.5% more. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.

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