About ZIM Dividends

This page shows the complete ZIM 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.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (ZIM) is issued by ZIM. Israeli container shipping company — one of the largest liner operators globally with exposure heavily tied to Pacific and Atlantic trade routes. Historically famous for its variable/special-dividend policy (30-40% of annual net income), which produced enormous payouts during the 2021-2022 freight-rate boom and near-zero distributions when rates collapsed. Under the February 2026 merger agreement with Hapag-Lloyd, ZIM is now limited to regular dividends only — variable specials have been suspended. 2026 guidance withdrawn pending deal close.

ZIM dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does ZIM pay dividends?▾
ZIM pays dividends quarterly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment ZIM has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own ZIM 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 ZIM dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend ZIM 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 ZIM, the current yield is roughly 7.92% 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 ZIM dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for ZIM 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 ZIM distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in ZIM 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 ZIM 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.
