November 2025 had two ex-dates, on November 3 and November 28, followed by one on December 29. April 2026 also had two, on April 1 and April 24, and no May 2026 ex-date is listed.

The history shown starts in March 2025. The eleven payments listed for 2025 averaged just over $0.10, and the nine payments in 2026 so far have averaged just under $0.11. The source counts a growth streak of two years based on calendar-year totals. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in early November 2026 and be paid a few days later.
