The record is short, and the amounts have varied widely. The table lists three annual distributions, one in each December from 2023 to 2025. The first, with an ex-date of December 20, 2023, was $0.26 per share. The December 2024 distribution was $6.34, the largest in the table, and the December 2025 distribution of $4.20 was about 34% lower. With only three payments of such different sizes, the data does not show a steady level. The source does not show a growth streak.
Ex-dates have fallen between December 16 and December 20, with payment three to seven days later. No distribution is listed so far in 2026, which fits the once-a-year rhythm in the table. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-to-late December 2026 and be paid a few days later.
