QYLD ETF Dividend History, Yield & Distributions

Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. Global X - Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.18 per share on a monthly cadence.

QYLD's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 11.65%, from $2.14 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.

QYLD currently pays distributions on a monthly cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.

QYLD's next distribution is announced at $0.18 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Oct 19, 2026.

QYLD's latest covered distribution was $0.18 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Oct 19, 2026 and a payment date of Oct 22, 2026.

QYLD's 11.65% trailing distribution yield reflects an income strategy — typically option premium alongside portfolio income — rather than ordinary corporate dividends. A large distribution is cash paid out relative to price; it is not the same as total return, it can fall as quickly as it rose, and part of it may be return of capital. Read it beside price return and total return before treating it as income.
