The record shows a steady annual rhythm. UniFirst has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in early December and is paid in early January. The rate went from $0.30 to $0.31 in December 2022, then to $0.33 in 2023, $0.35 in 2024 and $0.37 in 2025. Each raise was one or two cents, or roughly 3.3% to 6.5%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 23%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.21 in 2022 to $1.42 in 2025. 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 December 2026 and be paid in early January 2027. That is the payment where past raises have appeared.
