What the record shows

YMAX has paid weekly since 2024. Across the last 12 months, 53 distributions totaled $4.877 per share and produced a trailing yield of 62.69%. The payment record is short and the distribution amounts have varied.

Recent distributions were nearly flat but edged lower. The latest four-payment average was $0.0595 per share, 0.4% below the prior period. The first full calendar year, 2025, totaled $7.853 per share. The initial year was short only because payments began during it, so its annual total is not comparable with the full year.

Over 12 months, YMAX’s price fell 39.5%, while distributions equaled 37.9% of the price a year earlier. Approximate total return was -1.6%. The cash distributions offset most of the price decline, but the combined result remained negative as part of the payout was accompanied by a lower 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.
