Payments by calendar year were $0.24 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and three payments so far in 2026 add up to $0.18. The source gives no growth streak, and the record shows no raises and no reductions over these five years.

The schedule is just as steady. Ex-dates fall at the end of February, May, August and November or in the first few days of the following month, and payment follows about two weeks later, around the 15th. In 2026 the ex-dates so far were March 2, June 1 and September 1. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around the start of December 2026 and be paid in mid-December.
