YIELDMAX "NEW KIDS" YIELD CHASER SPECIAL 3/29/2025 -- 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.
In addition to the master yield chaser file — a subscriber made a request to break things down into “old dogs” (YieldMax products 12 months or older), the “new kids” (less than 12 months in existence—this post), and “weekly payers” (YieldMax products that pay weekly).
We apologize if some of this seems redundant — but it actually is a useful way to break down YieldMax’s 45 products into more manageable chunks.
If you want to ignore this and just use the master file, you can.
For those who like to see a bit more performance history before investing, use the “Old Dogs” post.
For those willing to take a flyer on something with less performance history, this is the post for you!
For those looking for “weekly payers” — well there’s a post for that too.
Enjoy!
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 23 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.”
