EWQ Distribution History & Yield

EWQ's next ex-distribution date is Dec 14, 2026 (in 96 days, estimated from its semi-annual schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $1.087 per share, expected on Dec 28, 2026.

EWQ pays distributions twice a year, 2 times a year. The most recent payment was $1.087 per share with an ex-date of Jun 15, 2026.

EWQ's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 2.88%, based on $1.315 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $45.69. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $2.174 per share, is 4.76%.

EWQ pays about $1.087 per share each half-year, which works out to roughly $2.174 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $217.40 a year.

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 17.1% a year (+7.3% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, EWQ'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 4.76%, you would need about 552 shares of EWQ (roughly $25,220 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive twice a year, so the monthly figure is an average.
