GOOY Ex-Dividend Date & Dividend Calculator

YieldMax GOOGL Option Income St (GOOY) is an ETF that funds its dividend through covered-call option premium, paying a weekly distribution at a yield of 45.3%. In exchange for a high payout, upside is capped and there's a risk of NAV erosion. Evaluate it on long-run total return (dividend + price), not short-term income alone.

The distribution amount is a variable-dividend structure that changes month to month with option-market volatility, so past yield does not guarantee future payments. Before investing, read the covered-call ETF risk guide and the complete dividend-types guide.

Strategy structure — GOOY, part of the YieldMax lineup, replicates GOOGL's (a leading search / cloud / AI name) price movement synthetically through an options combination rather than buying the stock itself.

Payout mechanics — Paid weekly, funded by option premium rather than GOOGL shares. The listed yield is 45.3% (as of 2026.09.09), and payment size has stayed fairly steady payment to payment (variability score 0.12). GOOY's recent payments haven't varied enough to trigger the variable-dividend classification. The per-payment amount is about $0.0660, paid roughly 52 times a year. This figure is recalculated every period, so it isn't guaranteed to hold going forward — it's a reference point based on past payment history. When evaluating GOOY, cross-check the $0.0660 per-payment figure against the other numbers in the card above — no single metric should carry the whole judgment.

Risk to watch — Because GOOY is 100% exposed to GOOGL with no offsetting positions, both the distribution and the NAV can move sharply together on GOOGL-specific news. This ex-dividend date (2026-09-10) is inferred from payment-interval history rather than officially confirmed. Start with the YieldMax structure explainer, then trace the actual price path in the 5-year simulator. GOOY holders should watch which direction the $0.0660 per-payment figure moves over time — a trend across several payments matters more than any single number.

Summary — YieldMax GOOGL Option Income St pays $0.0660 per weekly period. At 52 payments a year that annualizes to roughly $3.43, a simple projection that assumes no change to the current payment. For GOOY, it's worth cross-referencing the fact that payments has stayed fairly steady payment to payment (variability score 0.12) against the figures in the card above. Every number here carries the same caveat — it's a snapshot, not a guarantee. If you're holding or considering GOOY, treat this $0.0660 per-payment figure as a reference point rather than a buy/hold signal — not a conclusion from one snapshot.
