The Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF dividend reflects the payout from a fund that tracks the full Nasdaq Composite Index, giving investors broad exposure to large-cap technology and growth-oriented equities. ONEQ currently yields 0.49%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.5130 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 18, 2026, and the last dividend paid was $0.1120 per share. With a beta of 1.223, ONEQ carries above-average market sensitivity, making it a better fit for growth-and-income investors than those seeking low-volatility income.
Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF dividend safety is therefore tied directly to the income produced by the Nasdaq Composite Index constituents rather than a company's own earnings coverage. The primary pressure point is that the fund's distributions fluctuate with the dividend activity of its holdings, which explains the year-over-year variability visible in the payment history.
Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 12.5% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.0590 to $0.4930 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest single-year increase in the window was 249.3% in 2015, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the growth path has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +7.3% | $0.40 (2022) | $0.49 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +6.6% | $0.36 (2020) | $0.49 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -4.4% | $0.77 (2015) | $0.49 (2025) |
ONEQ fits growth-and-income investors who treat dividend growth as the primary objective and accept a low current yield in exchange for broad Nasdaq Composite exposure. The yield is classified as low (below 2%), currently at 0.49%, which sits above the 5-year average of 0.41% but remains well short of what pure income investors typically require. Four consecutive years of dividend increases point to recent momentum, but the 12.5% annual growth rate over 18 years is the real draw. The trade-off is clear: investors get meaningful long-run dividend growth from a high-beta fund, but current income is minimal.
