The record shows a steady annual rhythm. West Pharmaceutical has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in November. The rate went from $0.18 to $0.19 in 2022, then to $0.20 in 2023, $0.21 in 2024 and $0.22 in 2025. Each raise was one cent, so the percentage has eased slightly, from about 5.6% in 2022 to about 4.8% in 2025. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 22%. Payments by calendar year rose from $0.73 in 2022 to $0.77 in 2023, $0.81 in 2024 and $0.85 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive years.

If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in early to mid-November 2026 and be paid about a week later. That is the payment where past raises have appeared.
