About iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF Dividend

Dividend Safety

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF dividend safety depends on the income produced by the fund's constituent value stocks across developed international markets, not on a single company's earnings. The most significant pressure point is that dividends from international equities can fluctuate with currency movements and the earnings cycles of foreign companies, which the history table confirms: the fund has seen year-over-year declines exceeding 5% in multiple years.

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF (EFV) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.0% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.6420 to $2.9720 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump was 36.5% in 2014, but the window also contains at least one decline exceeding 5%, so growth has been uneven rather than linear.

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+15.8%	$1.92 (2022)	$2.97 (2025)
5-Year	+21.1%	$1.14 (2020)	$2.97 (2025)
10-Year	+5.9%	$1.67 (2015)	$2.97 (2025)

Is iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

EFV fits income-focused investors who want a high-yield international equity position built around value stocks in developed markets outside North America. The current yield of 4.69% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits well above the fund's own 5-year average yield of 3.0%, meaning today's entry point delivers meaningfully more income than the historical norm. The trade-off is volatility in the dividend itself: the 4.0% CAGR over 15 years comes with real year-over-year swings, and the fund's three consecutive years of increases is a short streak. What an investor gets is a high current income rate from international value equities; what they accept is an irregular growth path.
