The record shows a steady annual rhythm. Sonoco has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in May. The rate went from $0.45 to $0.49 in 2022, then to $0.51 in 2023, $0.52 in 2024, $0.53 in 2025 and $0.54 in 2026. The 2022 raise was four cents, or about 8.9%. 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.
