How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 11.70%: the 12 payments of the last twelve months ($2.14) divided by today's price. Forward yield 11.97%: the latest payment times 12, divided by the same price. Fund sites often quote a 30-day SEC yield instead, which uses the holdings' income in the last month, so it can differ from both.

The latest dividend was $0.18 per share, ex-dividend Oct 19, 2026. Over the last twelve months QYLD paid $2.14 per share, and $2.04 in 2025. QYLD pays monthly, 12 times a year.
When is QYLD's next dividend?+
Not announced yet. Going by the same payment last year, the next ex-dividend date is likely around November 2026; funds announce the date and amount shortly before. QYLD pays monthly, 12 times a year. You must own the shares before the ex-dividend date to receive the payment.
What is QYLD's dividend yield?+
A trailing 12-month yield of 11.70%: $2.14 per share paid, divided by the Oct 29, 2026 close of $18.30. The latest payment taken 12 times a year gives a forward yield of 11.97%. Most of the payout is option premium on the fund's holdings, which rises and falls with market volatility.
Is QYLD's dividend qualified?+
It depends on what the fund earned that year. Dividends from US companies, and from many foreign ones, count as qualified when the shares were held long enough; option premium and interest do not, so a fund like QYLD usually reports only part of its payout as qualified. The fund reports the exact split each year on Form 1099-DIV.
How fast has QYLD's dividend grown?+
The yearly payout grew -4.3% a year over five years, measured on complete calendar years. It did not rise last year.
