The table shows two payments on the same date in March 2020, three payments in 2023, and an unusually large $0.39 payment in August 2022 next to a $0.09 one. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.44 in 2024 to $0.65 in 2025. The source counts a three-year growth streak.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid to late March 2027 and be paid in late April or early May. In each year since 2023, the March payment has been the larger of the two.
