Payments by calendar year rose from $1.30 in 2022 to $1.43 in 2023, $1.57 in 2024 and $1.73 in 2025, about 10% each year. The table also shows a payment of $0.84 in April 2020, then none until March 2022. The source gives a growth streak of four years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late March or early April 2027 and be paid in mid-May. That spring payment has been the larger of the two in every year shown.
