About iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF Dividend

IJH currently yields 1.24%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.9022 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 15, 2026.

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). The dividend amount each period depends directly on the distributions paid by the mid-cap companies in the index, so iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF dividend safety is tied to the collective earnings health of those holdings rather than a single company's balance sheet. The most significant pressure point is that distributions can fall in years when underlying holdings reduce their own payouts, as the history table shows happened in 2017 and 2020.

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

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+3.2%	$0.81 (2022)	$0.89 (2025)
5-Year	+8.7%	$0.59 (2020)	$0.89 (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. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.24%, though that sits above the fund's own 5-year average of 1.1%, meaning current income is modestly better than recent norms. The 10.4% annual growth rate over 14 years is the real draw here. The trade-off is clear: income today is modest, and the dividend can dip in weak years, but the long-run growth rate has meaningfully compounded per-share payouts over time.
