What FBY earned, and what it may pay

a share · estimate
Settling last week’s options cost 25.0¢, and Treasury bills yielding 3.57% added 0.5¢.
Net for the week: -16.6¢ a share.
FBY lost money on options this week. The underlying rose through the strikes it had sold, so buying those calls back cost more than the new ones brought in. That is the trade-off working as designed — the fund gives up the upside it sold. Any distribution this week comes out of the fund’s assets.
The estimate applies FBY’s last payout rate to what the fund is worth now. Over its own history that has been off by about 29% on average. It breaks when the fund changes its payout rate, which has happened roughly one week in five.
Earnings measured from YieldMax’s published trades (Sep 25, 2026) and holdings (Sep 28, 2026). Check against today’s file. Premium is collected when the options are sold; some is paid back if the underlying closes above the strikes.

How much of META’s rise FBY still follows

FBY has sold away part of its gains to pay you. This is where that starts and stops, if META finishes there on Oct 2, 2026.

0%50%100%META $721.03 today$755$765$775$785META share price on Oct 2, 2026

Below $755, FBY keeps up with META in full. Above $765 it stops following altogether — that is the upside it sold to pay this week’s distribution.

Above $785 it follows in full again, because the fund bought calls back at that level.

Whether FBY gives up meaningful upside here comes down to where META trades by Oct 2, 2026. To judge how likely that is, you need a view on META itself. Koyfin lets you compare the strike with its price history, earnings expectations and valuation — 20% off for YieldMaxCalc readers.

How FBY dividend dates work

FBY 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 FBY on or after that date means you do not receive that declared payment. Use the FBY dividend calculator to model the income stream, or open the full FBY dividend history for every past payment.
