QDTE declares $0.2080 weekly distribution, 51.8% above last week

Roundhill Innovation-100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (QDTE) has declared a weekly distribution of $0.2080 per share, an increase of 51.82% from the previous week's $0.1370. The ex-dividend date for this payment is August 13, 2026.

The numbers

This distribution is part of QDTE's weekly payment schedule, which has shown variability in recent weeks. The last six payments were: $0.203 on July 9, $0.209 on July 16, $0.23 on July 23, $0.137 on July 30, $0.137 on August 6, and now $0.208 on August 13. At the current price of $29.88, the trailing twelve-month yield stands at 44.18%, with a TTM dividend per share of $13.2010. QDTE has a record of one consecutive year of increases, but given the variable nature of these distributions, this should not be interpreted as a permanent raise.

What it means for income investors

For income investors, this weekly distribution of $0.2080 per share implies an annualized rate of approximately $10.82 per share, based on the current weekly amount. On a 100-share position, that would equate to $20.80 for this week's payment. Investors should note that QDTE's distributions are variable and can fluctuate from week to week, so this amount is not guaranteed. For a detailed look at past payments, see the dividend history.
