a share · estimate

The estimate applies MSFO’s last payout rate to what the fund is worth now. Over its own history that has been off by about 28% 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 MSFT’s rise MSFO still follows

MSFO has sold away part of its gains to pay you. This is where that starts and stops, if MSFT finishes there on Aug 14, 2026.

Below $502.5, MSFO keeps up with MSFT in full. Above $507.5 only 44% of its position still follows — that is the upside it sold to pay this week’s distribution.

Above $517.5 it follows in full again, because the fund bought calls back at that level.

Whether MSFO gives up meaningful upside here comes down to where MSFT trades by Aug 14, 2026. To judge how likely that is, you need a view on MSFT itself. Koyfin lets you compare the strike with its price history, earnings expectations and valuation — 20% off for YieldMaxCalc readers.

How MSFO dividend dates work

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