CBON's next ex-distribution date is Oct 1, 2026 (in 22 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.0292 per share, expected on Oct 15, 2026.

How much does CBON pay per share?

CBON pays about $0.0292 per share each month, which works out to roughly $0.351 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $35.10 a year.

Has CBON grown or cut its distribution?

There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, CBON's distributions vary with the income its holdings generate, so payouts are not designed to rise every year the way a dividend-growth stock's are.

At the current forward yield of 1.45%, you would need about 3,419 shares of CBON (roughly $82,547 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every month, so the monthly figure is an average.
