IYR Distribution Snapshot
Yield, recent distribution history, cadence, and AIQ context stay together without treating ETF payouts like corporate earnings coverage.
Next IYR Distribution Date
When IYR next goes ex-distribution, the amount where it has been declared, and whether that state is announced, projected or not yet known.
Projected next IYR 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 IYR 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.

IYR Dividends FAQ
Does IYR pay dividends?
Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.74 per share on a quarterly cadence.
What is IYR's dividend yield?
IYR's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 2.46%, from $2.39 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 IYR pay dividends?
IYR 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 IYR's next dividend?
IYR's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Dec 15, 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 IYR's latest dividend?
IYR's latest covered distribution was $0.74 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Sep 15, 2026 and a payment date of Sep 18, 2026.
Why do IYR's distributions vary?
IYR 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.
