The record shows a steady annual rhythm. Gildan has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in March. The rate went from $0.15 in late 2021 to $0.17 in 2022, then to $0.19 in 2023, $0.21 in 2024, $0.23 in 2025 and $0.25 in 2026. Every raise was two cents, which works out to a shrinking percentage, from about 13.3% to 8.7%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 67%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.68 in 2022 to $0.76 in 2023, $0.84 in 2024 and $0.92 in 2025. The source gives a growth streak of three years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid to late November 2026 and be paid in mid-December. Past raises have come with the March payment, not the November one.
