The Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio dividend reflects a fund that puts at least 80% of its assets into semiconductor companies, covering design, manufacturing, and equipment sales across U.S. and international markets. The current yield stands at 10.56%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $6.4790 per share. The next ex-dividend date is April 10, 2026. With a beta of 2.13, FSELX moves sharply with market swings, which suits income investors who can tolerate significant price volatility in exchange for a high current yield.
Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio pays out dividends as a fund, making the payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio dividend safety is tied to the performance of its underlying semiconductor holdings, since distributions reflect realized gains and income generated by those positions rather than a fixed corporate earnings stream. The non-diversified structure of the portfolio means a small number of holdings can drive outsized swings in the fund's distributable income, which is the most significant data-supported pressure on payout levels.
Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio dividend history shows a CAGR of -3.8% per year from 1997 to 2025. Per-share payments started at $10.2000 and ended at $3.4060 (with 2026 partial year data showing $4.4700 so far, not used in the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 3765.2% in 2014, which reflects how erratically distributions have moved rather than any sustained upward trend. The history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, confirming that growth here is not linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | +20.9% | $1.32 (2020) | $3.41 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -11.5% | $11.50 (2015) | $3.41 (2025) |
FSELX fits income-focused investors who want exposure to semiconductor companies and are comfortable with highly variable distributions. The current yield is classified as high (above 4%), sitting well above the 5-year average of 2.98%, but that gap reflects how much distributions can swing year to year rather than a permanent step up. The fund's non-diversified structure and a beta of 2.13 mean both price and income can move dramatically. What an investor gets is a high current yield from a concentrated semiconductor portfolio; what they accept is that the next year's payout could look very different from this one.
