Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 77%. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.36 in 2022 to $2.00 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 November 2026 and be paid around November 20. Past raises have come with the February payment, not the November one.
