Possibly a name for someone’s high yield basket (it’s a commercial mREIT, but it has raised multiple times since late 2020, I believe). Disclosure: I own a full position in this, with covered calls sold on it also.

One of my favorite high income payers, Hercules Capital, raised their quarterly dividend payment from 0.32/share to 0.33/share, as well as maintained the .07 supplemental payout, for a total payout of .40/share.  The Nasdaq site just adds those together:

I've been wondering what would happen next for Hercules Capital.  They are absolutely flush with cash.  Well, today I got my answer.

They didn't bump up the .33 cents/share standard dividend.  Instead, they bumped up the supplemental dividend from .07 to .15, for a total dividend of .48 cents per share.  They did, however, state that the supplemental dividend will last the whole year.

So, overall this is great news.  I guess they are sticking with the supplemental dividend so that no one gets disappointed if next year they can't maintain their current cash flow.

Just as they promised. XEL and WEC committed to div growth that meets or exceeds earnings growth, and their projections hit on both numbers.
