What the record shows
DGRO has paid quarterly since 2014. Over the last 12 months, four payments totaled $1.494 per share, equal to a 1.95% trailing yield. Its distributions vary with income earned, so individual payments have not moved in a straight line.
The latest distribution was $0.385 per share, 16.3% higher than the previous payment. Even so, the recent average was 8% below the prior average. Annual distributions rose in every year from 2020 through 2025, showing a consistent upward pattern in full-year totals despite quarter-to-quarter variation.
DGRO’s price rose 13.2% over the same 12-month span. Distributions equaled 2.2% of the price a year earlier, bringing approximate total return to 15.4%. Because the price also increased, the distributions supplemented the gain rather than offsetting a falling share 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.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
