- GABSX yields 0.01% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $46.24.
- Its own 6-year median is 0.16%, so today’s yield is well below its usual level.

Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 6 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.
