SHY distribution FAQ
When is SHY's next ex-distribution date?
SHY'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 $0.2468 per share, expected on Oct 4, 2026.
How often does SHY pay distributions?
SHY pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.244 per share with an ex-date of Sep 1, 2026.
What is SHY's distribution yield?
SHY's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 3.63%, based on $2.962 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $81.69. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $2.962 per share, is 3.63%.
How much does SHY pay per share?
SHY pays about $0.2468 per share each month, which works out to roughly $2.962 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $296.20 a year.
Has SHY grown or cut its distribution?
There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, SHY'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 SHY do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 3.63%, you would need about 406 shares of SHY (roughly $33,095 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.
