The amounts are small and vary widely, from $0.01 to $0.20 in the table. No June ex-date is listed for 2024 or 2025, so those years had three distributions each. Calendar-year totals were $0.41 in 2022, $0.34 in 2023, $0.39 in 2024 and $0.38 in 2025. The source shows no current growth streak. The three payments so far in 2026 were $0.12 in March, $0.02 in June and $0.01 in September, adding up to $0.15.
Ex-dates usually fall in mid to late March, June, September and December, with payment three to six days later. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-December 2026 and be paid a few days later.
