O dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does O pay dividends?▾
O pays dividends monthly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment O has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own O before the ex-date to receive that payment; buying on or after the ex-date means you get the next one instead.
What does the O dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend O has paid, oriented left-to-right from oldest to newest. A rising trend means distributions are growing; a falling trend means they are shrinking. For O, the current yield is roughly 5.29% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Pay attention to the shape of the curve — steady growth is a very different risk profile from a jagged curve with big month-to-month swings, which is common for options-income ETFs.
Are O dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for O varies. Most traditional dividend ETFs and stocks produce qualified dividends — taxed at the long-term capital gains rate — but some portion may be non-qualified. Check the year-end 1099-DIV for the exact breakdown.
Why did O distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in O can come from a few sources: timing of the payment relative to the ex-date calendar, special distributions, or shifts in the underlying portfolio. For most non-options-income ETFs, distributions are fairly predictable quarter-over-quarter, with occasional year-end special distributions.
Where does this O dividend data come from?▾
Dividend records are sourced from official issuer dividend calendars and cross-referenced against press releases. Ex-dates and payment dates are the official dates as reported. For YieldMax funds specifically, we also ingest the weekly announcement press releases — that is why YieldMax ticker pages show upcoming announcements.
