YIELDMAX "NEW KIDS" YIELD CHASER SPECIAL 3/17/2025 -- An Analysis of YieldMax Dividend Payers Active Less Than One Year
Always take current yield with a grain (or a river) of salt
As always, please read our disclaimer.
The following stocks are sorted in descending order of greatest “current yield.”’
As we’ve stated before in other posts, we’re not big fans of current yield because current yield never tells the whole story.
However, the “YieldMax Yield Chaser Special” series of postings continue to be our most popular.
So… we will keep doing them… but read at your own risk.
We won’t do the whole long form explanation of why current yields are risky — we’ve done that elsewhere.
But here is some kind of interesting data from these 22 YieldMax dividend payers that are less than 12 months old.
For all of the entries below, do make sure to look at the full picture (the first paragraph of each entry) before riding the rapids of “The River of Current Yield.”
Fair warning.
Occasionally we may hold positions in some of these stocks.
All dividends are calculated based on the “Ex-EFF Date.”
