QVAL Distribution Snapshot
Yield, recent distribution history, cadence, and AIQ context stay together without treating ETF payouts like corporate earnings coverage.
Next QVAL Distribution Date
When QVAL next goes ex-distribution, the amount where it has been declared, and whether that state is announced, projected or not yet known.
Projected next QVAL distribution
Next ex-date status: projected. Next distribution amount status: projected. Projected values are inferred from recent cadence and are never presented as issuer announcements.
Dividend growth is temporarily withheld because recent rows show an extreme change that needs data review. Raw vendor values stay visible in the history table; TTM, growth, yield, and calculator context use the guarded analysis value.
Latest QVAL Distribution Dates
Review the latest distribution, yield, available trailing-year income, and distribution cadence before treating income as durable.
AIQ Distribution bridge
Fund distributions should be read with holdings quality, liquidity, and asset-class exposure.
Distribution yield is more useful when valuation context is not stretched.
Lower drawdown and volatility can improve the dependability of an income allocation.

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.

QVAL Dividends FAQ
Does QVAL pay dividends?
Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.24 per share on a quarterly cadence.
What is QVAL's dividend yield?
QVAL's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 1.40%, from $0.88 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 QVAL pay dividends?
QVAL currently pays distributions on a quarterly cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.
When is QVAL's next dividend?
QVAL's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Dec 28, 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 QVAL's latest dividend?
QVAL's latest covered distribution was $0.24 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Sep 28, 2026 and a payment date of Sep 30, 2026.
Why do QVAL's distributions vary?
QVAL 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.
