What AIYY earned, and what it may pay

a share · estimate
The estimate applies AIYY’s last payout rate to what the fund is worth now. Over its own history that has been off by about 22% on average. It breaks when the fund changes its payout rate, which has happened roughly one week in five.
Premium is collected when the options are sold; some is paid back if the underlying closes above the strikes.

How much of AI’s rise AIYY still follows

AIYY has sold away part of its gains to pay you. This is where that starts and stops, if AI finishes there on Aug 21, 2026.

0%50%100%AI $9.93 today$10$11$11.5AI share price on Aug 21, 2026

Below $10, AIYY keeps up with AI in full. Above $10 only 33% of its position still follows — that is the upside it sold to pay this week’s distribution.

Above $11.5 it follows in full again, because the fund bought calls back at that level.

Whether AIYY gives up meaningful upside here comes down to where AI trades by Aug 21, 2026. To judge how likely that is, you need a view on AI itself. Koyfin lets you compare the strike with its price history, earnings expectations and valuation — 20% off for YieldMaxCalc readers.

How AIYY dividend dates work

AIYY currently pays on a weekly schedule. For a YieldMax distribution, the declaration date is when the payout is announced, the ex-dividend date is the cutoff for owning shares, and the payment date is when the cash distribution is scheduled to be paid.

The ex-dividend date is the key date for investors: buying AIYY on or after that date means you do not receive that declared payment. Use the AIYY dividend calculator to model the income stream, or open the full AIYY dividend history for every past payment.
