  • Declared dividends are tied to record and payment dates (March 2, 2026 record date; March 16, 2026 payment date) - shareholders must be on record to receive payments.
  • The company’s valuation assessment and dividend history are subject to future business performance and market conditions; metrics cited reflect current data but could change.
