TLT distribution FAQ
When is TLT's next ex-distribution date?
TLT's next ex-distribution date is Oct 1, 2026 (in 23 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.3242 per share, expected on Oct 4, 2026.
How often does TLT pay distributions?
TLT pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.315 per share with an ex-date of Sep 1, 2026.
What is TLT's distribution yield?
TLT's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 4.73%, based on $3.89 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $82.20. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $3.89 per share, is 4.73%.
How much does TLT pay per share?
TLT pays about $0.3242 per share each month, which works out to roughly $3.89 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $389.00 a year.
Has TLT grown or cut its distribution?
Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 12.5% a year (+0.6% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, TLT's distributions vary with the income its holdings generate, so payouts are not designed to rise every year the way a dividend-growth stock's are.
How many shares of TLT do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 4.73%, you would need about 309 shares of TLT (roughly $25,357 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every month, so the monthly figure is an average.
