GNMA distribution FAQ
When is GNMA's next ex-distribution date?
GNMA's next ex-distribution date is Oct 31, 2026 (in 6 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.1567 per share, expected on Nov 3, 2026.
How often does GNMA pay distributions?
GNMA pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.166 per share with an ex-date of Oct 1, 2026.
What is GNMA's distribution yield?
GNMA's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 4.41%, based on $1.88 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $42.59. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $1.88 per share, is 4.41%.
How much does GNMA pay per share?
GNMA pays about $0.1567 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.88 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $188.00 a year.
Has GNMA grown or cut its distribution?
There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, GNMA'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.
How many shares of GNMA do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 4.41%, you would need about 639 shares of GNMA (roughly $27,185 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.
