About UPS Dividends

This page shows the complete UPS dividend payment history, including ex-dates, payment dates, and per-share amounts. The chart above visualizes the trend of dividend payments over time, making it easy to spot increases, decreases, or irregular payouts.

United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) is issued by UPS. Global package-delivery and logistics company competing head-to-head with FedEx and Amazon Logistics. 17 consecutive years of dividend increases with annual dividend of $6.56/share and a forward yield around 6.5% — elevated because the stock has underperformed amid margin compression post-Amazon volume shift. Payout ratio ~97% of earnings is the key concern: UPS is paying out nearly all of what it earns, leaving little room for further increases until earnings recover.

Open the UPS projection tool to model how reinvesting these dividends would compound over time, or check the Total Return Analyzer to see the real yield after accounting for NAV changes.

UPS dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does UPS pay dividends?▾
UPS pays dividends quarterly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment UPS has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own UPS 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 UPS dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend UPS 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 UPS, the current yield is roughly 6.27% 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 UPS dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for UPS 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 UPS distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in UPS 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 UPS 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.
