About iShares Core High Dividend ETF Dividend

The iShares Core High Dividend ETF dividend comes from a fund that tracks an index of high-dividend-paying American companies. HDV currently yields 11.63%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.4225 per share paid monthly. The next ex-dividend date is August 19, 2026. A beta of 0.3 makes this fund notably low-volatility, which suits income investors who prioritize price stability alongside yield.

Dividend Safety

iShares Core High Dividend ETF pays out a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF), since distributions flow directly from the dividends collected across its underlying holdings rather than from retained corporate earnings. iShares Core High Dividend ETF dividend safety depends on the continued dividend payments of the American companies held in the index it tracks. The primary pressure point is that any broad reduction in dividends across those underlying holdings would flow directly through to HDV's own distribution level.

iShares Core High Dividend ETF (HDV) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

iShares Core High Dividend ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.9% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.9150 to $3.9107 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The history does include at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.

iShares Core High Dividend ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+1.7%	$3.72 (2022)	$3.91 (2025)
5-Year	+1.9%	$3.57 (2020)	$3.91 (2025)
10-Year	+3.1%	$2.88 (2015)	$3.91 (2025)

Is iShares Core High Dividend ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

HDV fits dividend investors who want a high-yielding, low-volatility income fund built around American dividend-paying companies. The yield classification is high (above 4%), currently sitting at 11.63%, which is below the 5-year average of 13.0%. That gap means income investors are receiving somewhat less yield than the fund's own historical norm. The trade-off is a 10.9% annualized growth rate over 14 years, which is meaningful, but the absence of a consecutive-increase streak means year-to-year payouts can and do move in both directions. Low beta (0.3) keeps price swings modest. What investors get is high current income with limited price volatility. What they accept is a payout that can dip in any given year.
