The source lists Vale as a quarterly payer, but the record is irregular. Ex-dates cluster in March, August and December, and several dates carry two or three separate amounts. In December 2025, three amounts of $0.23, $0.24 and $0.14 shared one ex-date and were paid in January and March 2026. One December 2024 payment of $0.09 has no pay date in the table. Single amounts ranged from $0.06 to $0.72 since 2022, and the largest in the table was $1.51 in September 2021. Payments by calendar year went from $1.47 in 2022 to $1.23 in 2023 and $1.01 in 2024, then rose to $1.28 in 2025. The source shows no growth streak.
Because amounts and timing change from year to year, the table does not show a fixed schedule. In 2024 and 2025, a payment with a December ex-date followed the August one.
