What the record shows
QQQY has paid weekly since 2023, but recent distributions are edging lower. It has made 121 payments, including 52 over the past year. Those latest payments totaled $7.224 per share and produced a trailing yield of 35.26%.
Recent distributions averaged $0.1273, 1.7% below the prior $0.1295 average. Across the full history, 64 payments were lower than their predecessors and 45 were higher.
The first payment year was partial because payments began during it, so its total is not comparable with later full years. Among those later years, annual distributions fell from $25.719 to $10.681. Over the same period as the trailing yield, the price lost 18.2%, while distributions equaled 28.8% of the price a year earlier, leaving an approximate total return of 10.6%. The falling price offset part of the cash distributions through capital erosion.

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.
