Since the September 2022 payment, the amount has been $0.32 per share every quarter, 17 payments in a row without a change. That covers four full years of payments at the same per-share amount. Each of the calendar years 2023, 2024 and 2025 had four payments at that amount, and three have been made so far in 2026. The source does not give a growth streak, and the table shows no raise since September 2022.
The timing is steady. Ex-dates fall in mid-March, mid-June, mid-September and mid-December, with payment about two weeks later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around December 10, 2026 and be paid in late December, close to year end.
