Net for the week: 24.4¢ a share.

How much of ARKK’s rise OARK still follows

OARK has sold away part of its gains to pay you. This is where that starts and stops, if ARKK finishes there on Nov 13, 2026.

0%50%100%ARKK $74.97 today$75$77ARKK share price on Nov 13, 2026

Below $75, OARK keeps up with ARKK in full. Above $75 only 9% of its position still follows — that is the upside it sold to pay this week’s distribution.

Above $77 it follows in full again, because the fund bought calls back at that level.

Whether OARK gives up meaningful upside here comes down to where ARKK trades by Nov 13, 2026. To judge how likely that is, you need a view on ARKK itself. Koyfin lets you compare the strike with its price history, earnings expectations and valuation — 20% off for YieldMaxCalc readers.

How OARK dividend dates work

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