The record shows a very regular annual rhythm. Prudential has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in February. The rate went from $1.15 to $1.20 in 2022, then to $1.25 in 2023, $1.30 in 2024, $1.35 in 2025 and $1.40 in 2026. Every raise was exactly five cents, so the percentage has eased from about 4.3% to about 3.7%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 22%. Payments by calendar year rose from $4.80 in 2022 to $5.40 in 2025. The company has increased its dividend for five consecutive years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-to-late November 2026 and be paid around December 11. The payment after that, due to go ex-dividend in February 2027, is the one where past raises have appeared.
