The numbers
This new distribution is part of YMAX's variable weekly payment schedule. Recent payments have fluctuated: 2026-07-29 $0.057, 2026-08-05 $0.059, 2026-08-12 $0.061, 2026-08-19 $0.06, 2026-08-26 $0.059, and now 2026-09-02 $0.06. At the current price of $7.46, the trailing twelve-month (TTM) yield stands at 67.95%, with TTM dividend per share of $5.0690. YMAX has increased its distributions for 1 consecutive year, though it has no 5-year dividend CAGR due to its relatively short history.
What it means for income investors
For an investor holding 100 shares, the new weekly distribution of $0.0600 per share translates to $6.00 per week, or an annualized rate of $312.00 based on the current payment level. However, because YMAX pays variable weekly distributions, this amount is not guaranteed and may fluctuate in future weeks. Investors should review the fund's dividend history to understand the variability.
