HOOY has paid weekly since 2025, making 54 distributions over that span. The latest distribution was $0.406 per share, 30.6% lower than the preceding payment. Across its history, HOOY has distributed lower amounts more often than higher amounts.

Over the past year, HOOY distributed $31.695 per share, corresponding to a 112.15% trailing yield. The latest four distributions averaged $0.4355 per share, 37.8% above the preceding average. That higher recent average came despite the latest weekly amount moving lower.

Because distributions began during 2025, the $39.305 total covers only a partial year and does not establish a year-over-year direction. Over the past year, HOOY’s price fell 59.1%, while distributions equaled 45.9% of the price a year earlier. Together, the distributions and price decline produced an approximate total return of -13.2%, showing that the cash payments did not fully offset the loss in price.
