MSST declares $0.1120 weekly distribution, 5.66% above last week

MSST (YieldMax MSTR Performance & Distribution Target 25 ETF) has declared a weekly distribution of $0.1120 per share, representing a 5.66% increase over the previous week's distribution of $0.1060. The ex-dividend date for this payment is August 11, 2026. This is the latest in a series of variable weekly distributions that the fund has paid, which fluctuate from week to week.

The numbers

MSST pays distributions on a weekly basis. Recent payments include $0.113 on July 7, $0.107 on July 14, $0.108 on July 21, $0.105 on July 28, and $0.106 on August 4. The new distribution of $0.1120 is higher than the prior week's but lower than the early July payment. The fund's trailing twelve-month (TTM) distribution per share is $6.2640, giving a TTM yield of 27.78% based on the current price of $22.55. The fund has no dividend growth history over five years and has not increased its distribution for consecutive years, as it pays variable amounts.

What it means for income investors

For income investors, the new weekly distribution annualizes to approximately $5.82 per share (0.1120 x 52), which would equate to about $582 per year for every 100 shares held. However, since distributions are variable, this annualized figure is not guaranteed. Investors should review the fund's payment history to understand the variability. The ex-dividend date is August 11, 2026, meaning investors must hold shares before that date to receive the upcoming payment.
