What the record shows

SPHD has paid monthly since 2012, with 164 distributions, and the latest 12 months delivered $2.468 per share at a 5.02% trailing yield. The payment record is consistent in frequency, while the amount distributed has varied with income earned.

The latest distribution was $0.202 per share, 8.2% lower than the previous payment. Recent distributions averaged $0.2123, above the preceding $0.2093 average, a 1.4% increase. Across the longer recent span, higher payments outnumbered lower payments, indicating that month-to-month variation has more often moved upward than downward.

Annual totals rose for consecutive full years, fell the following year, then rose again in the latest full year. Earlier full years with unusual payment counts reflect ex-dates falling into a neighbouring year, not a change in the rate; average per payment fell from $0.1535 to $0.1306. Over the same period, a 0.4% price gain combined with distributions equal to 5% of the year-ago price for an approximate 5.4% total return. Distributions supplemented price appreciation rather than returning capital through a falling price.

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.
