- By the record: the record runs from September 8, 2023 to October 4, 2026 across 77 payments, the last twelve months contributing $4.36 per share over 51 checks, which is down 48% from $8.44 twelve months prior — roughly 67% of the recent ~$6.53 share price.
- Pays: weekly (four-week cycles until the 2025 family-wide switch).
- First paid: September 2023 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: a YieldMax fund that sells call spreads on Netflix (NFLX), converting the stock's volatility into distributable premium. It does not simply hold the stock.
- Fee: 1.01% gross expense ratio (issuer fund page).
- The angle: earnings-gap risk in fund form: NFLX moves in lurches, and option premium prices that in.
The income is option premium, not Netflix profits: NFLY caps its upside when NFLX rallies and keeps most of the downside when it falls. Each point below is what Netflix's option market actually paid out that week.
NFLY pays weekly. Each point below is one distribution since the fund began paying in September 2023.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from NFLY's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.
Every YieldMax single-stock fund runs the same machine on a different engine: sell Netflix's rallies for premium, keep its declines, pay the premium out. What varies is the engine's temperament — and NFLX's temperament is the whole story of this chart. Line NFLY against GOOY — the family's other low-vol mega-cap — on the compare tool, with the Erosion Index as referee.

When Is NFLY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
NFLY pays weekly. 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 NFLY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
NFLY's Record So Far
NFLY — the YieldMax NFLX Option Income Strategy ETF — launched in August 2023 and has paid since September 2023; earnings-gap risk in fund form: NFLX moves in lurches, and option premium prices that in. The chart is NFLY's complete declared record; the table beneath turns it into yearly per-share totals.
How the Machine Works
The fund sells call spreads on NFLX, harvesting the premium the market pays for Netflix's future volatility, and distributes that premium weekly. The sold calls cap every post-earnings pop — the exact moments Netflix holders live for — while drawdowns pass through; total return against simply holding NFLX is the only honest scoreboard. Our compare tool overlays exactly that.
The Step Down Has Mundane Causes
NFLY's chart steps down from its 2024 era for mundane reasons: smaller weekly slices after the cadence change and a calmer underlying. Check the payout stats and Erosion Index before trusting any annualized number.
