The iShares Semiconductor ETF dividend reflects a fund built around concentrated exposure to the 30 largest US-listed semiconductor companies, covering chip manufacturers, equipment providers, and materials suppliers. SOXX currently yields 0.28%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.4677 per share paid quarterly, and the next ex-dividend date falls on June 15, 2026. With a beta of 2.24, this is a high-volatility fund, and the income it generates is secondary to its role as a growth-oriented play on the semiconductor sector.
iShares Semiconductor ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of portfolio income, with a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF). The dividend level is tied directly to the income generated by its 30 underlying holdings, which are subject to quarterly rebalancing and annual reconstitution, meaning iShares Semiconductor ETF dividend safety depends on the aggregate distributions from those holdings rather than a single company's earnings. The most significant pressure factor is the fund's high concentration in a cyclical sector: with a beta of 2.24, income can swing sharply alongside semiconductor industry conditions.
iShares Semiconductor ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.9% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.3130 to $1.7214 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 106.4% in 2012, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which reflects the cyclical nature of semiconductor sector income.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -26.7% | $4.37 (2022) | $1.72 (2025) |
| 5-Year | -11.0% | $3.08 (2020) | $1.72 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.1% | $1.16 (2015) | $1.72 (2025) |
SOXX fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield, particularly those already comfortable with semiconductor sector volatility. The current yield of 0.28% is low (below 2%) and sits well below the 5-year average yield of 0.6%, which means income at today's entry point is thin by historical standards. The 9.9% annualized dividend growth rate from 2007 to 2025 is the real draw here. What an investor gains is exposure to long-run dividend growth from a concentrated semiconductor portfolio; what they accept is a low starting yield and significant income variability tied to a beta of 2.24.
