About State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF Dividend

The State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF dividend comes from a fund that holds U.S. industrial-sector equities, tracking the Industrial Select Sector Index through full replication. XLI pays $2.0587 per share annually on a quarterly schedule, with the next ex-dividend date on June 22, 2026. The current yield sits at 1.17%. With a beta of 0.998, XLI moves almost in lockstep with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want industrial-sector exposure rather than a high income stream.

Dividend Safety

State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through from its underlying industrial equity holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF dividend safety is therefore tied directly to the dividend income generated by the fund's portfolio of U.S. industrial companies, not to a single corporate balance sheet. The primary pressure point is that distributions fluctuate with the aggregate dividends paid by those underlying holdings, which dropped visibly in 2020 and 2021, pulling the annual payout down from $1.5830 to $1.3180 over two years.

State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.5% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.7280 to $1.9978 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump in the data was 21.9% in 2022, though the window also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, a reminder that growth here is not linear.

State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+7.5%	$1.61 (2022)	$2.00 (2025)
5-Year	+7.8%	$1.37 (2020)	$2.00 (2025)
10-Year	+5.8%	$1.14 (2015)	$2.00 (2025)

Is State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

XLI fits dividend investors who want broad U.S. industrial-sector exposure and are comfortable accepting a low income yield in exchange for meaningful long-term dividend growth. The current yield of 1.17% is classified as low (below 2%), and it sits above the fund's own 5-year average of 0.99%, so income is modestly better than recent norms. The 7.5% annual growth rate over 14 years is the real draw. The trade-off is clear: XLI is not an income-first holding. Payouts have declined in past years, and the yield alone does not compete with higher-income alternatives. What investors get is industrial-sector dividend growth packaged in a diversified, low-cost structure.
