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.
