The table shows two raises, both with the payment that goes ex-dividend in November. The rate went from $0.25 to $0.28 in November 2022, about 12%, and then to $0.30 in November 2023, about 7.1%. Since then, every payment has been $0.30. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown 20%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.03 in 2022 to $1.14 in 2023 and $1.20 in 2024, then held at $1.20 in 2025. The source gives no current growth streak, which fits the flat rate since late 2023.
Payments have gone ex-dividend in mid-March, mid to late May, mid to late August and mid to late November, and are paid about two weeks later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid to late November 2026 and be paid in early December. Both raises in the table came with that November payment.
