The rate held at $0.98 through 2022, then went to $1.02 in 2023, $1.07 in 2024, $1.13 in 2025 and $1.20 in 2026. The raises have grown each time, from four cents to seven cents, or from about 4.1% to 6.2%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 22%, close to 4.4% a year. Payments by calendar year rose from $3.92 in 2022 to $4.52 in 2025. The company has increased its dividend for three consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-to-late November 2026 and be paid in December. Past raises have come with the payment after that, early in the new year.
