PLTY Ex-Dividend Date & Dividend Calculator

YieldMax PLTR Option Income Str (PLTY) is an ETF that funds its dividend through covered-call option premium, paying a weekly distribution at a yield of 64.6%. 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 — PLTY doesn't hold PLTR (a data-analytics / defense software firm with heavy government-contract exposure) stock directly. Instead it's a YieldMax-family product that uses options (mainly selling calls) to build synthetic exposure to PLTR's price.

Payout mechanics — PLTY's distributions come entirely from options premium on a weekly basis. Yield currently reads 64.6% (as of 2026.09.09), with per-payment amounts that has swung sharply from one payment to the next (variability score 0.41). PLTY is classified as a variable-dividend name — the payout differs from one period to the next. The per-payment amount is about $0.5144, 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. PLTY's $0.5144 per-payment figure is a snapshot, not a recommendation — weigh it against your own research before acting.

Risk to watch — With zero diversification and full exposure to PLTR alone, a single piece of news can move both the payout and NAV at once. 2026-09-10 is a projection based on past payment gaps, not an actual company announcement. See single-stock covered-call basics and how NAV erosion works, then compare cumulative outcomes in the 5-year simulator. When making decisions about PLTY, it's safer to treat the $0.5144 figure above as one reference among several rather than the sole basis.

Summary — YieldMax PLTR Option Income Str pays $0.5144 per weekly period. At 52 payments a year that annualizes to roughly $26.75, a simple projection that assumes no change to the current payment. For PLTY, it's worth cross-referencing the fact that payments has swung sharply from one payment to the next (variability score 0.41) against the figures in the card above. Every number here carries the same caveat — it's a snapshot, not a guarantee. None of this replaces doing your own homework on PLTY — the $0.5144 figure is a starting point, not the final word.
