Every regular payment in the table, from June 2025 through December 2026, was $0.11 per share. The twelve regular payments with 2026 ex-dates add up to $1.32. There was also an unusually large extra payment of $0.70 per share, with an ex-date of December 29, 2025 and a pay date of January 30, 2026. The source gives a growth streak of one year.

Ex-dates usually fall on the third or fourth Tuesday of the month, and payment comes on the last business day of the month. If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared December one would go ex-dividend in the second half of January 2027 and be paid at the end of that month.
