The table holds the last 20 monthly payments, from February 2025 to September 2026, so it covers less than two years. The first 14, through the March 2026 ex-date, were $0.12 per share each. The amount then moved to $0.10 with the payment that went ex-dividend at the end of April 2026, about 16.7% lower, and has stayed there for six payments. The trailing total of $1.32 includes six payments at each rate. The source shows no growth streak.

The timing is very regular. Ex-dates fall on the last business day of each month, and payment follows about four weeks later, near the end of the next month. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend at the end of October 2026 and be paid in late November.
