Since early 2022, the quarterly rate has grown about 37%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.40 in 2022 to $1.52 in 2023, $1.60 in 2024 and $1.80 in 2025, about 29% more over that span. The source gives a growth streak of six years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early January 2027 and be paid in mid-January. That is the payment where past raises have appeared.
