About Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF Dividend

The Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF dividend reflects the fund's goal of replicating the MSCI USA IMI Information Technology 25/50 Index, giving investors broad exposure to U.S. technology companies. The current yield is 0.35%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.0020 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 18, 2026, with the last payment of $0.2890 per share. FTEC suits growth-and-income investors who accept a low current yield in exchange for dividend growth, supported by a 9.7% annualized growth rate over the past decade.

Dividend Safety

Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making the payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF dividend safety is therefore tied to the income produced by the technology companies in the MSCI USA IMI Information Technology 25/50 Index, rather than a single company's earnings. The most significant pressure on the payout level is that technology-sector income distributions can fluctuate year to year, as the history shows at least one decline exceeding 5% within the available data window.

Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF (FTEC) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.7% per year from 2014 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.3470 in 2014 to $0.9560 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest single-year jump in the window was 26.7% in 2019, while the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, meaning growth has not been linear.

Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+3.0%	$0.88 (2022)	$0.96 (2025)
5-Year	+2.0%	$0.86 (2020)	$0.96 (2025)
10-Year	+8.7%	$0.42 (2015)	$0.96 (2025)

Is Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

FTEC fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current income and are comfortable with the variable distributions that come with a technology index fund. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 0.35%, which is only marginally above the 5-year average of 0.33%. That narrow gap means the current yield offers little premium over its own historical norm. What an investor gets is a 9.7% annualized dividend growth rate over eleven years. The trade-off is clear: current income is minimal, and distributions can dip in any given year, as the history confirms.

Has Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF ever cut its dividend?

Is Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF a good dividend stock for income investors?

For income investors seeking high current yield, FTEC is a poor fit at 0.35%. Its value as a dividend holding comes from the 9.7% annualized growth rate, not from the income it generates today.

What type of investor is Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF best suited for?

FTEC suits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield. The 9.7% CAGR over eleven years is the draw; investors who need meaningful income now will find the 0.35% yield insufficient.

Why is Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF dividend yield low?

The yield is low because FTEC tracks a technology index whose underlying companies return relatively little income relative to their market prices. The payout ratio is not applicable (fund/ETF), so the yield is a direct function of the income the holdings generate.

How does Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF compare to its own historical yield?

At 0.35%, the current yield is nearly identical to the 5-year average of 0.33%. There is no meaningful premium or discount to its own historical norm at this time.
