About State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF Dividend

The State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF dividend comes from a fund that tracks the Technology Select Sector Index, holding U.S. information technology stocks across growth and value companies of diversified market capitalizations. XLK pays a quarterly dividend, with a trailing annual rate of $0.9721 per share and a next ex-dividend date of June 22, 2026. The current yield stands at 0.51%. With a beta of 1.344, this fund moves with more volatility than the broader market, making it a fit for growth-oriented investors who treat the dividend as a secondary benefit rather than a primary income source.

Dividend Safety

State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income from its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF dividend safety depends on the income generated by its portfolio of U.S. information technology stocks, which can fluctuate with sector earnings and dividend activity among holdings. The fund's beta of 1.344 reflects above-average price sensitivity, and any broad pullback in tech sector income would flow directly through to the distribution.

State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.4% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.3850 to $1.3491 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 30.6% in 2012, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.

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

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+1.5%	$1.29 (2022)	$1.35 (2025)
5-Year	+2.4%	$1.20 (2020)	$1.35 (2025)
10-Year	+5.8%	$0.77 (2015)	$1.35 (2025)

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

XLK fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield. At 0.51%, the yield is low (below 2%) and sits below the fund's own 5-year average of 0.71%, meaning buyers today are accepting a thinner income stream than the historical norm. The 9.4% annualized dividend growth rate from 2011 to 2025 is the real draw here. What an investor gains is exposure to a fast-growing dividend tied to U.S. information technology companies. The trade-off is a yield too low to serve as a meaningful income source on its own, and a beta of 1.344 that brings above-average price swings along with it.

What type of investor is State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF best suited for?

State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield. The 9.4% CAGR is the draw; the 0.51% current yield and beta of 1.344 make it a poor fit for conservative income seekers.
