DON Dividend History
WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Fund is a monthly-paying ETF from WisdomTree, trading since 2006 and charging 0.38% a year. This page holds all 193 distributions in our record, each with its ex-dividend date, pay date, and amount per share, along with the payout figures that record supports.
Every figure below was read from WisdomTree on Aug 25, 2026. The full citation sits in the Source and Citation card.
What the Record Shows
Next payment window, expected rather than declared: based on the observed 30-day gap between ex-dates, the next ex-date would ordinarily fall between Aug 18, 2026 and Sep 5, 2026. This is a pattern read from the record, not an announcement; the fund can change timing or amount at will.
Growth: DON's split-adjusted payout for 2025 came in up 12.9% against 2024. The rise has now run 2 complete calendar years in a row (2024 through 2025) in our records, and the real-world streak can be longer than the part we cover.
Trailing twelve months against the year before: up 10.1% on a split-adjusted basis, which is the same question measured on a rolling window rather than calendar years.
Payment range, trailing twelve months: smallest $0.0064 (ex-date Feb 24, 2026), largest $0.2337 (ex-date Dec 26, 2025), a spread of 3,540%. Payments this variable make single-month extrapolation unreliable; use the trailing twelve-month total for planning.
Longer view: across the complete years in our records, the split-adjusted annual payout went from $0.5259 in 2007 to $1.3055 in 2025, a change of +148%.
Coverage: our DON record starts Oct 4, 2006 and holds 193 payments. That spans 19 complete calendar years which can be compared like for like. Metrics needing more history than that are marked rather than estimated.

Income Targets at the Current Payout
Shares needed to collect each monthly income target at DON's trailing twelve-month payout of $1.3219 per share. This is arithmetic on the recorded payout, not advice. The capital required depends on the share price on the day you buy, and the payout itself can rise or fall.
| Monthly Income | Yearly Income | Shares Needed (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| $250 | $3,000 | 2,270 |
| $500 | $6,000 | 4,539 |
| $1,000 | $12,000 | 9,078 |
| $2,500 | $30,000 | 22,695 |

Which Months Does DON Pay?
Months in which DON's ex-dividend dates landed over the most recent two years of records. Payment usually arrives days to two weeks after the ex-date; exact dates are in the history table below.
Other payers with the same pattern are listed on the January page, and the full calendar view is on payments by month.
DON had a 3-for-1 share split on Nov 9, 2017. The figures below come from the sponsor already restated in current share terms, so amounts before and after the split are directly comparable and no separate adjusted column is needed. Amounts declared at the time were larger in the same proportion.

Full distribution history published by the sponsor, 193 payments from 2006 to 2026-07-28, read from the sponsor's own CSV export of the fund page cited above. The fund did not always pay monthly; the dated record shows the cadence change directly and the dates govern. Amounts are exactly as the sponsor publishes them, which means they are already adjusted for the 3-for-1 split payable 2017-11-09. Pre-split figures are therefore stated in current share terms, not in the terms declared at the time.

Growth and Consistency
Computed from the split-adjusted calendar totals above, over the 19 complete years this record holds. A rate needs a complete year at both ends, so the ones the record cannot support are marked rather than estimated.
| Period | Annualised growth | Span |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | +12.9% | 2024 to 2025 |
| 3 years | +5.4% | 2022 to 2025 |
| 5 years | +6.2% | 2020 to 2025 |
| 10 years | +5.4% | 2015 to 2025 |
Year-Over-Year Changes
Some years hold a different number of payments than the year before them, which happens when a fund changes how often it pays or publishes a year-end supplemental. Comparing those totals produces a decline nobody decided on, so those years are marked uneven and are not counted as cuts.

Nothing is declared yet. Based on the observed payment pattern, the next ex-date would ordinarily fall between Aug 18, 2026 and Sep 5, 2026. That is a pattern read from the record, not an announcement.
Is DON's dividend growing?

How many shares of DON does it take to make $1,000 a month?
At the trailing twelve-month payout of $1.3219 per share, about 9,078 shares. The capital that requires depends on the share price on the day you buy, and the payout itself can change; the income table on this page shows other targets.
Why do DON's payments vary so much?
Across trailing twelve months the smallest payment was $0.0064 and the largest $0.2337, a spread of 3,540%. Funds whose distributions depend on option income or portfolio flows pay what the period produced, so single payments are a poor basis for income planning. Trailing twelve-month totals absorb this variation.
