The per-share amounts in the history fall into two clear ranges. From 2022 through September 2024, quarterly payments ranged from $0.52 to $0.82. Calendar-year totals were $2.56 in 2022, $2.65 in 2023 and $2.44 in 2024. Starting with the payment that went ex-dividend in December 2024, the amounts dropped to a much lower range. Since then, every payment has been between $0.25 and $0.28. The 2025 total was $1.05, about 59% below the 2024 total. Within the recent range, payments have moved by only a cent or two from quarter to quarter. The source shows no current growth streak.

If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-dividend in early to mid-December 2026 and be paid a few days later. Recent December ex-dates fell between December 6 and December 11.
