What the record shows

APLY has paid weekly since distributions began in 2023. During the latest year, 50 payments totaled $4.20 per share, for a 35.32% trailing yield. Recent distributions have moved lower, with the recent average 28.3% below the prior average. The latest distribution was higher than the previous payment, but it did not reverse that broader decline.

Because APLY began paying during 2023, its first calendar year was short and is not comparable with later annual totals. In 2024, annual distributions reached $4.502 per share, then rose to $4.683 in 2025 even as the average payment fell.

Over the latest year, APLY’s price fell 14.3%, while distributions equaled 30.3% of its price a year earlier. The cash distributions more than offset the price decline, resulting in an approximate total return of 16%. The lower price shows that part of the high cash payout was accompanied by capital returning through the price.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.
