Years of Dividend History: 24
The Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio dividend comes from a non-diversified fund that puts at least 80% of its assets into semiconductor companies, covering design, manufacturing, and equipment across U.S. and international markets. The fund currently yields 10.55%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $6.4790 per share paid semi-annually. The next ex-dividend date is April 10, 2026. With a beta of 2.13, FSELX carries significant price volatility, making it a fit for income-focused investors who can tolerate sharp swings in net asset value.
Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio pays out dividends as a fund, making the traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio dividend safety rests on the performance of its underlying semiconductor holdings, which are selected through fundamental analysis of financial stability and competitive positioning. The primary pressure point is the fund's non-diversified structure combined with a beta of 2.13: when semiconductor valuations fall sharply, distributions can drop just as fast.
Fidelity Select Semiconductors Portfolio dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.4% per year from 1997 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.0200 to $3.4060 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump in the available data was 3,765.2% in 2014, which reflects the fund's highly variable distribution pattern rather than a steady upward trend.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | +20.9% | $1.32 (2020) | $3.41 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +11.5% | $1.15 (2015) | $3.41 (2025) |
FSELX fits income-focused investors who want exposure to the semiconductor sector and are comfortable with irregular, performance-driven distributions. The current yield is classified as high (above 4%), sitting at 10.55% versus a 5-year average of just 2.97%, a gap that reflects an unusually large recent distribution rather than a permanent shift in payout behavior. The fund's non-diversified structure and 2.13 beta mean both the share price and the dividend itself can move violently in either direction. What an investor gets is a high current yield tied directly to semiconductor market performance. What they accept is that next year's distribution could look nothing like this year's.
