| You hold | Each week | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.127 | $0.55 | $6.60 |

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 MSST shares reinvest into 0.54 new shares each payment, about 32.4 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 185 shares. Here the share count grows fast partly because the price keeps falling: more shares, each worth less, so count the shares and their value together.

MSST Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- MSST yields 28.13% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $23.48.
- Too new to rate — paying since 2025. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 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.

- Ex-dates: about every 7 days (weekly)
- Payment: usually about 1 days after the ex-date

MSST vs Similar YieldMax Funds (YRAM, TEST...)
Against the 10 YieldMax funds closest to MSST in fund size, MSST’s 28.13% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 40.20%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
