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 11.52%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.2305 per share paid on a monthly basis. The next ex-dividend date is June 15, 2026. A beta of 0.33 makes this a low-volatility option, 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), as the fund passes through income from its underlying holdings rather than retaining earnings. iShares Core High Dividend ETF dividend safety is therefore tied to the dividend output of the American high-dividend companies the fund holds, not to a single corporate balance sheet. The most significant pressure point is that the fund's distributions fluctuate with the aggregate dividends paid by those underlying holdings, meaning any broad pullback in corporate payouts flows directly through to HDV shareholders.

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 period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The history table contains 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 monthly income from a diversified basket of high-dividend American companies and can accept year-to-year variability in payout size. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), currently at 11.52%, though that sits below the 5-year average of 13.65%, which means recent pricing has compressed the yield relative to its own history. The 10.9% CAGR over 14 years shows meaningful long-term growth, but the presence of at least one decline of more than 5% in the history table means income is not perfectly predictable year to year. What an investor gets here is high current income and low price volatility (beta 0.33). The trade-off is that distributions depend entirely on what the underlying holdings pay out.
