XBI ETF dividend answer
State Street SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) has a trailing 12-month distribution yield of 0.09% and paid $0.1381 per share over the trailing 12 months. Recent distribution cadence: irregular — covered payments are spaced unevenly, so no fixed schedule is claimed. Its latest distribution was $0.1381 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Jun 22, 2026 and payment date of Jun 24, 2026. The next projected ex-dividend date is Dec 21, 2026. XBI distribution history is shown as fund payout history, so corporate payout ratio and free cash flow coverage are excluded.
XBI Distribution Snapshot
Yield, recent distribution history, cadence, and AIQ context stay together without treating ETF payouts like corporate earnings coverage.
Next XBI Distribution Date
When XBI next goes ex-distribution, the amount where it has been declared, and whether that state is announced, projected or not yet known.
Projected next XBI 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 XBI 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.

XBI's split-adjusted annual distributions grew at 9.61% a year from 2020 through 2025, ranking #59 of 138 equity ETFs in AlgovestIQ's research.
Measured from 2019 instead, the same history compounds at 118.97% a year.
Split-adjusted annual distributions, 2020–2025. Research as of Sep 19, 2026.
The payout jumped 704.4% in 2024, a single step rather than steady compounding - often an index or mandate change.
A single payment in an endpoint year was 10.6x the fund's median payment, so one distribution carries much of the result.
XBI Distribution Yield
How XBI's trailing distribution yield is calculated, and how it differs from 30-Day SEC Yield and total return.
Yield methodology
Trailing distribution yield equals distributions paid over the trailing 12 months divided by the latest available market price. It is different from 30-Day SEC Yield, forward distribution yield, and total return.
Distribution variability
XBI distributions reflect income from underlying holdings and may vary by quarter, market environment, fund composition, and fund policy.

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.

XBI Dividends FAQ
Does XBI pay dividends?
Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. State Street SPDR S&P Biotech ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.14 per share on a irregular cadence.
What is XBI's dividend yield?
XBI's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 0.09%, from $0.14 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 XBI pay dividends?
XBI currently pays distributions on a irregular cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.
When is XBI's next dividend?
XBI's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Dec 21, 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 XBI's latest dividend?
XBI's latest covered distribution was $0.14 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Jun 22, 2026 and a payment date of Jun 24, 2026.
Why do XBI's distributions vary?
XBI 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.
