Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.60 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of about 11.39% at a share price of $5.27.

The amount has been $0.15 in nearly every payment in the table, which starts in September 2020. The one exception is the December 2021 payment of $0.18 per share. Calendar-year totals were $0.63 in 2021 and $0.60 in both 2022 and 2025. The table also has a gap: no payments are listed between the December 2022 ex-date and the June 2024 ex-date, so all of 2023 and early 2024 are missing. The source shows no growth streak.

Ex-dates usually fall in mid-March, mid-June, mid-September and mid-December, and payment follows about a week later. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-December 2026 and be paid about a week after that, around December 20.
