The record shows wide swings rather than a fixed rate. Payments in the table range from $0.15 to $0.80 per share. The amount was $0.15 for three quarters in a row in both 2023 and 2025, and rose again the following March each time. Payments by calendar year were $2.74 in 2022, $0.95 in 2023, $1.57 in 2024 and $0.75 in 2025. So far in 2026, three payments of $0.50, $0.35 and $0.80 add up to $1.65, already more than in any full calendar year from 2023 to 2025. The source gives no growth streak.

Ex-dates have fallen in March, May, August and November. If that pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid about a week later. The amount has differed from one payment to the next for most of the record.
