The iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF dividend reflects a fund built to track U.S. mid-cap companies with value characteristics. IWS currently yields 1.28%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.1743 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 15, 2026, with the most recent payment of $0.5041 per share. At a beta of 0.959, IWS tracks closely with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want mid-cap value exposure alongside modest income.
iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF dividend safety depends on the income produced by the mid-cap value stocks the fund holds, not on a single company's earnings. The most significant pressure point is that the fund's distributions fluctuate year to year based on what its holdings pay out, and the history table shows multiple years of year-over-year declines, including drops in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024.
iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.3% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.9200 to $2.1594 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump was 21.1% in 2014, but the window also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +2.1% | $2.03 (2022) | $2.16 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +3.6% | $1.81 (2020) | $2.16 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +3.9% | $1.47 (2015) | $2.16 (2025) |
IWS fits dividend investors who want mid-cap value equity exposure and are willing to accept a low income yield in exchange for broad diversification. The current yield of 1.28% is classified as low (below 2%), though it does sit above the fund's 5-year average yield of 1.16%, meaning today's income rate is modestly above its own recent norm. Growth over 14 years has averaged 6.3% annually, but the path has been uneven, with multiple down years interrupting the trend. The trade-off is clear: iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF offers a growing but variable income stream tied to what mid-cap value companies collectively pay out, not a predictable, steadily rising dividend.
