About iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF Dividend

The iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF dividend reflects a fund built to track mid-sized American companies selected for their growth characteristics. IJK currently yields 0.58%, paying $0.6375 per share on a trailing annual basis. Dividends are paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date set for September 15, 2026. That low yield signals this fund is structured around capital appreciation first, making it a secondary fit for income-focused investors who prioritize dividend growth over immediate payout size.

Dividend Safety

iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through from its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF dividend safety is therefore tied to the income generated by the mid-cap growth companies the fund holds, not to a fixed earnings coverage ratio. The most significant pressure point is that growth-oriented mid-cap stocks tend to reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which keeps the fund's dividend output variable from year to year.

iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF (IJK) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.4% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.1787 to $0.6411 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest single-year jump in the window was 72.9% in 2012, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which reflects the variable nature of distributions from a growth-tilted equity fund.

iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	-4.6%	$0.74 (2022)	$0.64 (2025)
5-Year	+4.8%	$0.51 (2020)	$0.64 (2025)

Is iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

IJK fits dividend investors who treat income as a secondary benefit rather than the primary objective. The yield is classified as low (below 2%), currently sitting at 0.58%, and the fund has posted no consecutive years of dividend increases, so income predictability is limited. The 7.4% annualized growth rate over 18 years is the more compelling number here, but it comes with real variability, including multi-year declines in the payout. What an investor gets is exposure to mid-cap American growth companies with a modest income component; what they accept is a yield well below income-focused alternatives and a dividend that moves with the earnings behavior of growth-oriented businesses.
