The amounts are very uneven from quarter to quarter. In every year from 2022 through 2026, the June distribution was the largest of the year. June payments ranged from $0.26 in 2025 to $0.58 in 2026, while other quarters in the table ranged from $0.04 to $0.28. Ex-dates usually fall in the second half of the last month of each quarter, with payment at the end of that month.

Distributions with ex-dates in each calendar year added up to $0.69 in 2022, $0.83 in 2023, $0.86 in 2024 and $0.70 in 2025. In 2026, three payments so far have added up to $0.90, already more than the 2025 total. The source shows no growth streak. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in December 2026 and be paid at the end of that month.
