The record shows a steady annual rhythm. NextEra Energy has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in late February. The rate went from $0.39 to $0.43 in 2022, then to $0.47 in 2023, $0.52 in 2024, $0.57 in 2025 and $0.62 in 2026. Each raise was four or five cents, or roughly 9% to 11%. The most recent raise, of 8.8%, was the smallest in percentage terms. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 59%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.72 in 2022 to $1.88 in 2023, $2.08 in 2024 and $2.28 in 2025. The company has increased its dividend for four consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late November 2026 and be paid around mid-December. The raise in recent years has come with the payment after that, in late February.
