The record shows one raise a year. From 2022 to 2025, each raise came with the payment that goes ex-dividend in September. The rate went from $0.46 to $0.50 in 2022, then to $0.52 in 2023, $0.54 in 2024 and $0.56 in 2025. The first raise was about 8.7%, and the next three were two cents each, roughly 3.7% to 4.0%. In 2026 the raise came earlier, with the June payment, and was larger: six cents, or about 10.7%, to $0.62. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 35%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.92 in 2022 to $2.20 in 2025. The source gives a growth streak of five consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid around January 1, 2027. Raises have usually come with the September or June payment, not the December one.
