About iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF Dividend

The iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF dividend comes from a fund that tracks an index made up entirely of medium-sized American companies. IJH currently yields 1.17%, paying $0.8884 per share over the trailing twelve months on a quarterly schedule, with the next ex-dividend date on June 15, 2026. That yield is low in absolute terms, but the fund has grown its payout at 10.4% per year since 2011. With a beta of 1.05, IJH stock moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a fit for growth-and-income investors who can accept modest current income in exchange for dividend growth.

Dividend Safety

iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF). iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF dividend safety is therefore tied directly to the dividend income produced by the mid-cap companies in the index, not to a corporate earnings figure. The main pressure point is that the fund's distributions fluctuate with what those underlying companies actually pay out, which has produced year-over-year declines in the past, including drops in 2017, 2020, and 2023.

iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.4% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.2230 to $0.8950 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest single-year jump was 30.1% in 2012, while the data also contains at least one annual decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.

iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+3.2%	$0.81 (2022)	$0.90 (2025)
5-Year	+8.7%	$0.59 (2020)	$0.90 (2025)
10-Year	+7.5%	$0.43 (2015)	$0.90 (2025)

Is iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

IJH fits growth-and-income investors who want exposure to medium-sized American companies and are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for above-average dividend growth. At 1.17%, the yield is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits well below the fund's own 5-year average of 2.97%, meaning buyers today are getting less income per dollar invested than the historical norm. The 10.4% annual growth rate over 14 years is the real draw here. The trade-off is clear: IJH delivers meaningful dividend growth but not meaningful current income, and the pass-through structure means distributions can and do dip in weaker years.
