Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 60%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.80 in 2022 to $1.98 in 2023, $2.18 in 2024 and $2.40 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid to late November 2026 and be paid around December 18. Past raises have come with the September payment.
