What the record shows

JNK has paid monthly since 2007. Its 225 distributions establish a long payment history, while the latest year delivered $6.34 per share across 12 distributions, equivalent to a 6.77% trailing yield.

The latest distribution was higher than the previous payment. The recent average was $0.53 per share, 1% above the prior average. Annual distributions fell for two consecutive years and then rose in each of the next four, reaching $6.359 per share.

That distribution income offset the price decline over the latest year. JNK’s price fell 4.1%, while distributions equaled 6.5% of the price a year earlier, leaving an approximate total return of 2.4%. The positive total return reflects distributions more than offsetting the price loss, even though part of the cash return coincided with lower market value.

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.
