Dividend growth
Average yearly change in the calendar-year payout
| 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.1% | 10.6% | 8.1% | n/a |
Raised 4 years in a row. Complete years only: 2026 is still running.
How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 1.00%: the 3 payments of the last twelve months ($0.81) divided by today's price. Forward yield 1.25%: the latest payment times 4, 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.
