All 20 payments in the table, from March 2025 to the declared October 2026 payment, are $0.05 per share, so the amount has not moved in that window. Ex-dates fall between the 13th and the 15th of each month, and payment follows on or just after the first day of the next month. The table holds only the last 20 payments, so it covers about a year and a half. The source lists a growth streak of one year, but the amounts shown do not change.
If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around December 1. The amount has been $0.05 in every payment shown.
