307.19% (EPS-based)
12 months to Jun 30, 2026 (Q2 FY2026)
The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.Years Paying

Dividend Growth
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
SMA's dividend yield fell from 5.10% to 4.91% over the past ~90 days (-0.19 pp). Of that move, -0.16 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and -0.03 pp from the share price ($31.95 on Jun 16, 2026 → $32.12 on Sep 14, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
Yield vs Its Own History
Across 333 daily observations over the past 16 months (through Sep 11, 2026), SMA's current yield is higher than approximately 65% of them. Our stored price history for SMA covers the past 16 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
