What the Record Shows
Next payment window, expected rather than declared: based on the observed 31-day gap between ex-dates, the next ex-date would ordinarily fall between Aug 22, 2026 and Sep 9, 2026. This is a pattern read from the record, not an announcement; the fund can change timing or amount at will.
Growth: Our record does not yet hold two complete calendar years for O, so the growth figure is measured across the trailing twelve months against the twelve before: up 1.5% on a split-adjusted basis. It answers the same question on a rolling window rather than a calendar one.
Payment range, trailing twelve months: smallest $0.2690 (ex-date Sep 2, 2025), largest $0.2710 (ex-date Jul 31, 2026), a spread of 1%. The payout moves in small steps rather than swings.
Coverage: our O record starts Jul 1, 2024 and holds 26 payments. That spans 1 complete calendar year which can be compared like for like. Metrics needing more history than that are marked rather than estimated.
