The company has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in early April. The rate went from $0.07 to $0.09 in 2022, then to $0.11 in 2023, $0.13 in 2024, $0.18 in 2025 and $0.23 in 2026. The raises ranged from about 18% to 38%, the largest in 2025.

If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in early January 2027 and be paid in mid to late January. Past raises have come with the April payment, not the January one.
