Hmm, the same as last year's first, second and third dividends then.
It's been 12p for the first three quarters in each of the past three years with the Q4 dividend increasing slightly each time. I'm expecting a Q3 dividend of 12p and Q4 probably 19.5p or 20p (mainly just so they can boast an 18th consecutive year of dividend growth).
yeah, it seems like they're reluctant to commit to a q1-3 increase as that locks them in for a lot more the next year. they want to keep those 3 quarters flat or progressing. and i get that. SAIN (scottish american) lowered their Q1 dividend compared to their final the year before and it disappointed me. different for SAIN as their final has always been in line with the other 3 payment not higher like MYI. the Q1 was still higher than Q1 the year before but it was a disappointment nevertheless as my planning assumed progression or flat each quarter. i know now to not assume that with SAIN. it was a very temporary disappointment though as the Q2 is now back higher than the 2021 final divi.
