Since that restart, the record has been regular. The rate held at $0.09 through 2023, rose to $0.12 with the February 2024 payment, to $0.15 in June 2025 and to $0.18 in March 2026. Those raises were about 33%, 25% and 20%. They have not landed on the same payment each year. The quarterly rate has doubled since 2022. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.36 in 2023 to $0.48 in 2024 and $0.57 in 2025. The company has increased its dividend for two consecutive years.
Recent ex-dates fall in early March, June, September and December, with payment about two weeks later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early December 2026 and be paid around mid-December.
