What the record shows
ORC has paid monthly since 2013, with 163 distributions, but its recent record includes repeated reductions. Over the past year, ORC distributed $1.32 per share, equal to a 25.83% trailing yield. The most recent payment was $0.10 per share, unchanged from the prior payment, and the recent average remained level with the prior average.
Annual distributions fell in each year after 2020 through the last annual cut year, 2024. The total moved from $3.95 per share to $1.44 over that span, then held at that amount in 2025. This ended the run of annual declines but did not establish annual growth.
ORC has no consecutive years of dividend growth. Across the last five years, five of 60 payments were lower than their predecessors and none were higher. The dividend safety grade is D.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
