Forward yield Not computed: the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The trailing figure beside it is what has actually been paid.
Trailing 12-month yield 11.45% Cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days ($11.12) divided by the last price. Backward-looking, and not comparable with a bond's yield to maturity or an index yield.
Paid over 12 months $11.12 Trailing 12 months: the regular payments actually made over the last 365 days. No forward estimate is shown because the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by.
Pays Irregular No settled cadence: the last three recorded payments were not reported at the same frequency, so nothing here is annualised from a single payment.
Next ex-date Aug 31, 2026 First day the shares trade without the next payment attached.
Next pay date Sep 15, 2026 When the declared payment reaches holders.
Growth streak 0 yr Not measurable — fewer than two complete calendar years of payments are stored, so there is no earlier year to compare against. Our stored payment history for this security begins in 2025.
Years paying 1 Complete calendar years with a payment in our stored history, which begins in 2025. The issuer may have paid for longer than we hold.
Payout ratio Not in the database yet.
Income score 38 0-100 research screen, not a recommendation.

The two yields above are different measurements and are not interchangeable. The forward yield annualises the last regular payment; the trailing 12-month yield counts the cash actually paid over the last 365 days. Neither is an interest rate, a bond's yield to maturity or an index effective yield, and none of those may be compared with these as like for like. See how we compute these numbers.

Our stored payment history for STRC begins in 2025. There is no current run of increases to report: either the most recent complete calendar year did not pay more than the year before it, or there is no earlier complete year in our history to compare it with.

A yield is just a payment divided by a price, so it moves every day even when the payment does not. The forward number is an estimate of the next twelve months; the trailing number is what was actually paid over the last twelve. Ex-date is the cut-off: own the shares before it and the next payment is yours, buy on or after it and the seller keeps it.

About the annual figure
Payment cadence is irregular, so the annual figure is the trailing 12 months.
Payment cadence is irregular
No regular payment cadence is established for STRC. Our data provider did not report the same frequency for three consecutive payments, so the page treats the cadence as irregular: nothing is annualised from a single payment, and no forward yield is published. The trailing 12-month figures are unaffected — they count cash that was actually paid.

STRC is a preferred series — a separate class of shares issued by the issuer, not the common stock itself. Most exchange-listed US preferreds are issued at a $25 par value and pay a stated rate on that par, so the dollar payment is fixed while the market price moves with interest rates and with the issuer's credit.

Preferred shares rank ahead of the common stock and behind every lender. The issuer must pay the preferred dividend before it pays anything to common holders, but it can skip the preferred dividend entirely — a cumulative series accrues the arrears, a non-cumulative one does not. Most series carry no vote and become callable at par on a set date, which is why a preferred trading above par rarely goes much higher. Read how preferred stocks work.

Figures on this page are computed by Income Investing from the payment history and last price stored in our own database; the payment records come from fmp and the price from fmp, last recomputed Aug 25, 2026. They describe what has been paid, not what will be paid. Yield, payout ratio, our data sources and our methodology are explained elsewhere on the site.

Payment history

Each row is one payment as recorded by our data provider, newest first. The final column compares it with the nearest payment about a year earlier.

The table lists the 16 most recent recorded dividends for STRC, newest first, with ex-dates running from Aug 15, 2025 to Aug 31, 2026. The latest is $0.5000 per share in USD, ex-date Aug 31, 2026, pay date Sep 15, 2026. Measured against the nearest payment about a year earlier, 0 are higher, 5 lower and 0 unchanged; the remaining 11 have no comparable payment in the record. None is flagged as a special or one-off payment. Payment records supplied by fmp.

How to read this table: one row is one payment, newest at the top, and the amount is what a single share received on that one date. It is not an annual figure — the yearly ones are in the tiles above and in the totals further down. A row marked Special is a one-off the issuer chose to make rather than part of the regular schedule, which is why it is left out of the year-on-year comparison and out of those yearly totals. Whether the amount repeats for several rows or moves every time is a fact about the structure rather than a sign of health: a company usually resets its dividend once a year, while a fund's distribution can change with every payment.

The cadence column is the tag our provider attached to that individual payment (fmp), not the security's established schedule. The two can disagree, which is why the cadence shown in the tiles above is only accepted after three consecutive payments were tagged the same way.

A blank comparison means there was no comparable payment within sixty days of the same point a year earlier — a new payer, a changed cadence, or a gap in the record. Special and one-off payments are labelled and are excluded from the comparison.

Dividends by calendar year

Calendar-year totals, bucketed by ex-dividend date: every regular dividend whose ex-dividend date fell in that year, for the last ten complete years on record. These are amounts actually paid, never a forward estimate, and they are not the issuer's own annual dividend figure.

One complete calendar year is on record for STRC: 2025, totalling $4.26 per share in USD from 5 payments. Each bar totals the regular dividends with an ex-dividend date in that calendar year. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, which is not necessarily the issuer's own dividend year. Our stored payment history for STRC begins in 2025. There is no earlier complete year to compare it with, so the chart shows a single bar and no direction. The cadence on record for STRC is irregular, so the number of payments a complete calendar year should contain is not fixed and no per-year count check is applied to these bars. Read each total as the payments we hold with an ex-dividend date in that year, nothing more.

Each bar, and each row underneath it, is one calendar year of regular payments added together for a single share. Read left to right and you are reading whether the payment has grown, held or been cut — a record of what was paid, never a forecast of what will be. One thing to watch for: a year here is decided by the date the payment went ex, so when that date slips across a year end one year holds an extra payment and its neighbour is one short while the payment itself never moved. Any year where that has happened is drawn as a dashed bar and marked with an asterisk, and it is the usual reason these totals differ from the annual figure the issuer itself publishes.

2025: $4.2583 per share from 5 payments. 4.26 2025
Bar height is the total per share of the regular dividends whose ex-dividend date fell in that calendar year, in USD. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, not by the issuer's own dividend year and not by the date the cash arrived. These are a trailing record — never the forward estimate shown in the tiles above.

What can go wrong
Preferred dividends can be skipped. Cumulative series accrue the missed payments; non-cumulative series do not, and that money is simply gone. Most series are callable at par on or after a set date, which caps the upside — an issuer refinances when rates fall, and leaves the series outstanding when they rise. Fixed-rate series lose market value when yields rise, they trade thinly with wide spreads, and holders rank behind every lender in a bankruptcy.

These are not the best-paying securities of this kind, and no ranking is meant by the order. They are the ones whose trailing 12-month yield sits nearest to this one, in the same structure and usually the same sector, so that this security can be seen in company rather than on its own. Every figure here is backward-looking cash that has already been paid. A row that sits well away from the rest is a question to take to that security's own page, not an answer.

Every row in this table is on the same basis — cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days, divided by that security's last price — so the column can be read down. Forward estimates are deliberately not used here, because they exist for some securities and not others and a mixed column would invite a comparison that does not hold. A dash means no payment was recorded in the last 365 days, or no price is on file. Open a security to see both of its yields.

Questions about STRC

Does STRC pay a dividend, and how often?
Yes. The payment cadence recorded for STRC is irregular: the last three payments in our history were not reported at the same frequency, so no schedule is assumed and no single payment is annualised. The annual figure works out at $11.12 per share. Trailing 12 months: the regular payments actually made over the last 365 days. No forward estimate is shown because the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The last ex-date in our history is Aug 14, 2026.
What is the yield on STRC, and is it forward or trailing?
No forward yield is published for STRC, because the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The trailing 12-month yield is 11.45%: the $11.12 per share actually paid over the last 365 days, divided by the same price. Neither number is a bond's yield to maturity, an index effective yield or an interest rate, and none of those should be compared with these as like for like. Yield also moves inversely with price, so it rises when the market marks the security down — a high number is a question, not an answer.
When is the next STRC ex-dividend date?
The next ex-date recorded for STRC is Aug 31, 2026, with the payment due Sep 15, 2026. Shares bought on or after the ex-date do not carry that payment; the seller keeps it. Dates are as announced and can change.
