SCHD Yields 3.3% and Could Finish Its 15th Year of Consecutive Dividend Increases in 2026
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) is on pace for yet another boost to its payout. That's only part of its appeal.
Overview
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) yields 3.3% for its shareholders, with a trailing 12-month dividend payout of roughly $1.05 a share. If it keeps up its past track record of steady payment increases, which it historically has done, it's on pace for its 15th consecutive year of dividend growth.
But the yield is only part of the overall picture. It has a five-year annualized dividend growth rate of 7.5% and a 10-year average growth rate of 10.2%. That helps keep shareholders' income growing well ahead of inflation. Plus, any investor who bought the fund five years ago is earning more than 3.3% on their original investment, because the total dividends annually have kept climbing year after year.
