QDTE dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does QDTE pay dividends?▾
QDTE pays dividends weekly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment QDTE has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own QDTE 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 QDTE dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend QDTE 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 QDTE, the current yield is roughly 43.20% 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 QDTE dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
QDTE distributions are typically a mix of ordinary income, short-term capital gains, and return of capital. The exact breakdown is disclosed each year on the 1099-DIV. Covered-call ETFs vary — some lean qualified, some lean ordinary, depending on the exact options strategy used. For tax planning, look at the fund's most recent 19a-1 notice or consult a tax advisor.
Why did QDTE distributions change so much month to month?▾
Options-income ETFs like QDTE generate distributions from selling call options, and option premium is a direct function of implied volatility. When the underlying is volatile, premium is fat and distributions are big; when the underlying is calm, premium shrinks and distributions fall. A 40% month-over-month change is normal. Large drops usually mean the underlying had a quiet month; large rises usually mean the underlying had a choppy or declining month with elevated volatility.
Where does this QDTE 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.
