Closes through Oct 23, 2026

The lowest and highest price over the past year, showing where today's price sits in its recent range.

Payout Ratio

-

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

1

How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.

Price / Book

-

Price-to-book ratio: the share price on the date shown divided by the latest reported book value per share. A rough valuation gauge, most useful for asset-heavy sectors like REITs, banks and insurers.

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

XELLL's dividend yield rose from 6.73% to 7.48% over the past ~90 days (+0.75 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.75 pp from the share price ($23.22 on Aug 03, 2026 → $20.90 on Oct 30, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
