The per-share amount moves by a cent or two from one payment to the next rather than stepping up in a fixed pattern. Over the payments in the table, it has ranged from $0.41 to $0.47. The three 2026 payments were $0.46, $0.47 and $0.46. Payments by calendar year were $1.67 in 2022, $1.70 in 2023 and $1.76 in both 2024 and 2025, about 5.4% higher across that span. The source gives a growth streak of five years.
The timing has been very regular. Ex-dates fall in mid-February, mid-May, mid-August and mid-November, and payment arrives on the first day of the following month: March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid on December 1, 2026.
