What the record shows

SMCY has paid weekly since distributions began in 2024, with 62 payments through the latest distribution. During the past year, 50 payments totaled $7.408 per share, equivalent to a 137.95% trailing yield.

Recent distributions moved higher on average but remained uneven. The latest four-payment average was $0.0887 per share, 8.6% above the preceding average. The latest payment was $0.067 per share, 36.2% lower than the previous one. Across its full history, payments were lower than the preceding payment more often than they were higher.

SMCY’s first full calendar year produced $18.75 per share in distributions. Payments began partway through 2024, so that shorter annual total is not comparable with the first full year, and the record does not yet show a sequence of comparable annual totals. Over the past year, distributions equaled 46.2% of the starting price, while the price fell 66.5%. The distributions offset part of that decline, leaving an approximate total return of -20.3%.
