Ex-dates fall in the middle or second half of March, June, September and December, with payment six or seven days later. The amount follows a seasonal pattern. From 2022 through 2025, the March distribution was the smallest of each year, between $0.19 and $0.25, and the December one was the largest, between $0.39 and $0.48.
Distributions with ex-dates in each calendar year added up to $1.29 in 2022, $1.34 in 2023, $1.35 in 2024 and $1.33 in 2025, so annual totals have stayed in a narrow range. The source shows no current growth streak. In 2026, the three payments so far were $0.20, $0.36 and $0.35, adding up to $0.91, compared with $0.86 for the same three quarters of 2025. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-December 2026 and be paid about a week later.
