What the record shows

HOOY has paid 56 weekly distributions since payments began in 2025. Over the last 12 months, 51 distributions totaled $32.588 per share, producing a trailing yield of 123.3%.

The latest distribution was $0.43 per share, 7.1% lower than the previous payment. The recent average of $0.471 was 36.9% above the prior average of $0.344. Across the full sequence of distributions, lower payments occurred more often than higher payments, underscoring the variability of HOOY’s weekly income.

The first annual total was $39.305 per share across 16 payments. That year was short solely because payments began midyear, so it does not establish a year-over-year direction. Over 12 months, HOOY’s price fell 65.6%, while distributions equaled 42.4% of the price a year earlier. The distributions returned cash while the falling price reduced capital, leaving an approximate total return of -23.2%.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
