The payment record is short. The table lists six payments, starting with the one that went ex-dividend on May 19, 2025. The first four paid $0.77 per share each. The rate then rose to $0.81 with the payment that went ex-dividend on February 19, 2026. That was a raise of four cents, or about 5.2%, and it is the only change in the table. Payments follow a regular schedule. Ex-dates fall around the 19th of February, May and August and the 18th of November, and the money is paid about a week later. The source does not state a dividend growth streak.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around November 18, 2026 and be paid in late November. The one raise so far came with the February payment that follows it.
