Repeated monthly dividend declarations on Nov 26, 2025, Dec 30, 2025, and Jan 30, 2026 set an annual rate near $0.30396 per share and usually produced small moves. A board change on Nov 17, 2025 drew a sharper -4.38% reaction. A conference-call scheduling notice on Feb 11, 2026 had no impact, consistent with today’s conference-focused communication.
