First Trust U.S. Equity Opportunities ETF is a fund that the source lists as paying quarterly distributions. Its most recent distribution was $0.01 per share, with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of June 25, 2026 and a pay date of June 30, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.32 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 0.17% at a share price of $182.16.

The record is irregular. Not every quarter has a distribution: 2024 lists only March and December, and no September 2026 distribution is listed. Most amounts in the table were between $0.01 and $0.23. Two were unusually large: $0.50 with an ex-date in December 2022 and $0.53 in September 2025. Leaving those two out, the distributions with ex-dates in 2022 added up to $0.35, those in 2023 to $0.27 and those in 2025 to $0.33. The two listed for 2024 came to $0.11. The source counts a growth streak of one year.

The two distributions listed for 2026 so far add up to $0.09. Outside December, payment usually follows within a week. A December distribution is listed in each year from 2022 through 2025. If that continues, the next would go ex-distribution in mid-to-late December 2026.
