The record shows a steady annual rhythm. Eli Lilly has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in February. The rate went from $0.85 to $0.98 in 2022, then to $1.13 in 2023, $1.30 in 2024, $1.50 in 2025 and $1.73 in 2026. The raises grew from 13 to 23 cents, but each was close to 15% of the prior rate. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has more than doubled, a pace of about 16% a year. Payments by calendar year rose from $3.92 in 2022 to $6.00 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around December 10. Past raises have come with the February payment that follows it.
