The table often lists two amounts on the same ex-date. Since March 2024, most quarters show two payments, while August 2024, March 2025 and August 2025 show one. Combined per quarter, payments ranged from $0.52 to $0.68 per share. The two highest quarters in the table are the latest two, at $0.68 in May 2026 and $0.67 in August 2026. Payments by calendar year were $2.40 in 2024 and $2.33 in 2025, so the table does not show a steady raise pattern.
Ex-dates have fallen in early March, mid-May, mid-August and mid-November, with payment about a week later. If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid about a week later.
