Since then the rate has risen in steps, each with the payment that goes ex-dividend in late August: to $0.07 in 2023, $0.08 in 2025 and $0.09 in 2026. There was no raise in 2024. Those raises were one or two cents, or roughly 12.5% to 40%. Since the resumption, the quarterly rate has grown 80%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.24 in 2023 to $0.28 in 2024 and $0.30 in 2025. The source gives a growth streak of two years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late November 2026 and be paid in mid-December. Recent raises have come with the August payment, not the November one.
