Since then, raises have been one or two cents, or roughly 1.9% to 4.1%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown 20%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.92 in 2022 to $2.11 in 2025, about 9.9% more. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early to mid November 2026 and be paid around December 10. Past raises have come with the May payment, not the November one.
