QYLD distribution FAQ
When is QYLD's next ex-distribution date?
QYLD's next ex-distribution date is Nov 16, 2026 (in 22 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.1786 per share, expected on Nov 19, 2026.
How often does QYLD pay distributions?
QYLD pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.183 per share with an ex-date of Oct 19, 2026.
What is QYLD's distribution yield?
QYLD's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 11.85%, based on $2.143 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $18.09. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $2.143 per share, is 11.85%.
How much does QYLD pay per share?
QYLD pays about $0.1786 per share each month, which works out to roughly $2.143 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $214.30 a year.
Has QYLD grown or cut its distribution?
Over the last 5 years the regular payout has shrunk at 3.6% a year (-3.0% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, QYLD'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 QYLD do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 11.85%, you would need about 560 shares of QYLD (roughly $10,130 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.
