ISTB distribution FAQ
When is ISTB's next ex-distribution date?
ISTB'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 $0.172 per share, expected on Nov 3, 2026.
How often does ISTB pay distributions?
ISTB pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.174 per share with an ex-date of Oct 1, 2026.
What is ISTB's distribution yield?
ISTB's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 4.35%, based on $2.064 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $47.47. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $2.064 per share, is 4.35%.
How much does ISTB pay per share?
ISTB pays about $0.172 per share each month, which works out to roughly $2.064 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $206.40 a year.
Has ISTB grown or cut its distribution?
There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, ISTB'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 ISTB do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 4.35%, you would need about 582 shares of ISTB (roughly $27,599 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.
