Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF is a fund that pays quarterly distributions. Its most recent distribution was $0.09 per share, with an ex-date of September 28, 2026 and a pay date of September 30, 2026. The June 2026 distribution was also $0.09 per share.

The per-share history in the table is not adjusted for share splits. Through March 2026, each distribution listed was between $0.30 and $0.58 per share. From June 2026 on, the amounts are on a much smaller per-share scale, a step consistent with a share split. The earlier payments are therefore not directly comparable with the two latest ones, and neither is the source's trailing twelve-month figure, which spans both. Only two distributions are listed on the new basis, too few to show a trend or a calendar-year total.

Ex-dates in the table fall late in March, June, September and December, and payment follows two to six days later. The source counts a growth streak of three years based on calendar-year totals. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid a few days later.
