The record shows a steady annual rhythm. Universal Display has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in March. The rate went from $0.20 to $0.30 in 2022, then to $0.35 in 2023, $0.40 in 2024, $0.45 in 2025 and $0.50 in 2026. After the first ten-cent step, each raise was five cents, which works out to smaller percentages over time: about 16.7%, 14.3%, 12.5% and 11.1%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown 150%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.20 in 2022 to $1.40 in 2023, $1.60 in 2024 and $1.80 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid at the end of December. Past raises have come with the March payment.
