FBY Distribution — Quick Facts
  • The latest check: $0.0710 per share, ex-dividend September 17, 2026 — the 76th distribution in our record, which begins on September 8, 2023.
  • Trailing twelve months: $4.599 per share across 50 payments, against $7.518 in the twelve months before. That is a year-over-year fall of about 39% in total dollars paid.
  • The annual totals tell it plainly: $10.268 per share in 2024, $6.991 in 2025, and $2.992 so far in 2026 with the year unfinished. The 2024 figure is more than double what the last twelve months produced.
  • What the share price did: $16.45 a year ago to $9.89 now, a fall of 40% — the steepest one-year price decline of the four single-stock funds on this site's Microsoft and Meta pages.
  • The fee and how it earns: YieldMax lists a gross expense ratio of 1.06% and an inception date of July 27, 2023. FBY sells call spreads on Meta Platforms to harvest option premium.

A high distribution rate isn't the same as a high return, and FBY is the clearest example on this site of one sitting on top of a shrinking base. Both the payments and the share price have roughly halved. That is not a prediction about what comes next; Meta's volatility could rise again and take the premium with it. It is a statement about what the record shows, which is the only thing this page claims to know. The payment rhythm also changed from monthly to weekly around September 2025, so compare annual totals rather than individual checks.

Every Distribution Payment, Over Time

Each point below is one real FBY distribution since September 2023. The early monthly payments are the tall ones; the dense run from late 2025 onward is the weekly schedule, where each individual check is naturally much smaller.

When Both Halves Fall Together

A yield is the payment divided by the price, so it can hold up beautifully while both halves collapse. FBY is that case in the open. Distributions per share: $10.268 in 2024, $6.991 in 2025. Share price: $16.45 a year ago, $9.89 now, a fall of 40%. The trailing twelve months paid $4.599 against $7.518 the year before.

None of those numbers is hidden, and none of them appears in a yield quote. A holder who bought a year ago collected real cash and is still looking at capital worth roughly half what they put in, before counting the checks. Whether that trade came out ahead depends entirely on how much was paid out against how much the shares lost, which is arithmetic rather than opinion, and the house money calculator does it.

When Is FBY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?

FBY pays weekly, per YieldMax's own fund page; it paid monthly until around September 2025. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from FBY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.

The 2024 Figure Is the One to Sit With

FBY paid $10.268 per share across 2024. The trailing twelve months to September 2026 paid $4.599. Same fund, same strategy, same underlying company, less than half the cash. Nothing was announced and nothing broke. Option premium simply depends on volatility, and Meta's volatility is not a constant. Anyone sizing a position on last year's distribution rate is budgeting with a number the fund never promised to repeat.

The Other Meta Income Fund

METW, Roundhill's WeeklyPay fund on the same stock, pays weekly too but is built completely differently, targeting 120% of Meta's weekly total return through swaps rather than selling option premium. Its price fell 36% over the same year against FBY's 40%. Two very different machines, the same underlying, similar outcomes for the share price — which suggests the stock did most of the work in both cases.

What to Watch From Here

Whether the weekly checks stabilise or keep drifting down, which the chart above shows without interpretation. Whether 2026's annual total closes below 2025's. And whether the share price finds a floor, because that is the capital every future payment is earned on.
