Each year has one larger payment that goes ex-dividend in March and is paid in May, and one smaller payment that goes ex-dividend in August and is paid in September. The March payment was $0.17 in 2020, $0.19 in 2021, $0.17 in 2022, $0.18 in 2023, $0.20 in 2024, $0.21 in 2025 and $0.23 in 2026. The August payment has stayed between $0.08 and $0.11 over the same period. Payments by calendar year were $0.25 in 2022, $0.27 in 2023, $0.29 in 2024 and $0.30 in 2025, about 20% more over that span. Both 2026 payments add up to $0.34, about 13.3% above 2025. The source gives a growth streak of four years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in late March 2027 and be paid in May. That is the larger of the two payments each year.
