The December distribution was the largest of the year in 2022, 2024 and 2025.

Distributions with ex-dates in each calendar year added up to $0.60 in 2022, $0.91 in 2024 and $0.81 in 2025. No September 2023 distribution is listed, so 2023 shows only three payments totalling $0.85. In 2026, three payments so far have added up to $0.47. 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.
