Hercules Capital pays two amounts every quarter on the same dates: a regular $0.40 per share and a smaller $0.07 per share, $0.47 in all. Its most recent payments had an ex-date of August 11, 2026 and were paid on August 18, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.88 per share, a yield of about 11.31% at a share price of $16.62.

The table covers May 2024 to August 2026. Throughout that time, the larger payment has stayed at $0.40. The smaller one was $0.08 for the three quarters shown in 2024 and has been $0.07 since February 2025. Payments in calendar year 2025 totalled $1.88, four quarters of $0.47. The source gives no growth streak, and the record is too short to show a longer pattern of raises.

Ex-dates have fallen in mid-February, mid-May, mid-August and mid-November, with payment about a week later. If the pattern holds, the next pair of payments would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around a week after that.
