One distribution goes ex-distribution in early June and the other between late November and late December. In every year with both payments in the table, the June one has been the larger. Distributions with ex-dates in each calendar year added up to $1.27 in 2020, $1.82 in 2021, $1.94 in 2022, $2.04 in 2023, $2.30 in 2024 and $2.83 in 2025. That is more than double over five years. The source counts a growth streak of five consecutive calendar years.
The June 2026 payment of $1.50 was below the $1.59 paid in June 2025 but above every earlier June amount in the table. Payment usually follows the ex-date by four to ten days. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution between late November and late December 2026 and be paid about a week later.
