PFL dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does PFL pay dividends?▾
PFL pays dividends monthly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment PFL has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own PFL 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 PFL dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend PFL 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 PFL, the current yield is roughly 12.51% 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 PFL dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for PFL 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 PFL distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in PFL 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 PFL 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.
