DividendSmart has detected a change in the weekly distribution declared by MSST (YieldMax MSTR Performance & Distribution Target 25 ETF). The new payment of $0.1280 per share represents a 20.75% increase over the previous week's $0.1060. The ex-dividend date for this payment is August 25, 2026.

The numbers

MSST pays variable weekly distributions that fluctuate from week to week. Recent payments include $0.108 on July 21, $0.105 on July 28, $0.106 on August 4, $0.112 on August 11, and $0.106 on August 18. The current declared payment of $0.1280 is notably higher than the recent average. Based on the current price of $27.80, the trailing twelve-month yield stands at 23.37%, with a TTM dividend per share of $6.4980. The ETF has no dividend growth history, as it has not increased distributions for consecutive years, and the 5-year dividend CAGR is not applicable.

What it means for income investors

For income investors, this weekly distribution of $0.1280 per share implies an annualized rate of approximately $6.656 per share, based on 52 weeks. On a 100-share position, that would equate to roughly $665.60 per year. However, since MSST's distributions are variable and not guaranteed, investors should not interpret this as a permanent increase. The ex-dividend date for the upcoming payment is August 25, 2026, and investors must hold shares before that date to receive the distribution.
