ETF distribution yield is only the starting point. Pair the current distribution with frequency, history, holdings exposure, and fund risk before treating income as durable.
Yield is most useful when read with the fund's asset class, distribution policy, and recent payment pattern.
Stable or rising distributions can support an income allocation, while irregular payments should be read as fund-policy and market-cycle evidence.
ETF distributions are not evaluated with company payout ratio or free cash flow coverage because those metrics do not map cleanly to fund structures.

GDXJ Dividends FAQ
Does GDXJ pay dividends?

What is GDXJ's dividend yield?
GDXJ's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 2.44%, from $2.65 per share paid over the trailing 12 months. That is distributions paid divided by the latest available market price — it is not a 30-Day SEC Yield, a forward yield, or a total return.
How often does GDXJ pay dividends?
GDXJ currently pays distributions on a annual cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.
When is GDXJ's next dividend?
GDXJ's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Dec 22, 2026. A projection is an estimate from past payments, not an issuer announcement, and the fund can change both the date and the amount.
What was GDXJ's latest dividend?
GDXJ's latest covered distribution was $2.65 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Dec 22, 2025 and a payment date of Dec 26, 2025.
Why do GDXJ's distributions vary?
GDXJ distributes the income its underlying holdings generate, so the amount moves with dividend timing across the portfolio, index changes, and seasonality. Variation between periods is normal for a broad-market fund and does not by itself signal a change in fund policy.
