The payment record here is short, covering six payments since June 2025. The rate was $1.26 for the first three of them. It rose two cents, or about 1.6%, to $1.28 with the payment that went ex-dividend in March 2026, and it has stayed there for three payments. That is the only raise in the table, so there is not enough history to show a regular rhythm for raises. The source does not state a growth streak.
The schedule has been consistent. Ex-dates fall in early March, June, September and December. Payment follows about four weeks later, on the 2nd of April, July and October, and in early January. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early December 2026 and be paid in early January 2027.
