What the record shows
QQQ has paid quarterly since 2003, with 90 distributions. During the trailing year, QQQ paid $3.091 per share, equal to a 0.42% trailing yield.
The latest payment was $0.751 per share, down 7.6% from the previous payment, while the recent distribution average rose 2.4% to $0.782. Individual payments moved higher more often than lower across the recent five-year span. Annual totals rose in each of four consecutive years before the latest full year ended that run.
The latest full-year total fell 1.8% to $2.795 per share. The 2023 total included five payments because ex-dates fell into a neighboring year, so its annual change did not reflect a change in the rate; average per payment fell from the prior year to $0.5072. That year was QQQ's last annual cut year. QQQ has no current annual dividend growth streak, and its dividend safety grade is C.

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.
