Defiance Nasdaq 100 LightningSpread Income ETF has six detected distribution increases among 13 recorded payments. The history covers only about 0.1 years.

Defiance Nasdaq 100 LightningSpread Income ETF (QLDY.US) has a short payment history in the supplied record. Its latest listed distribution is CA$0.141, up from CA$0.139. Payments are labeled biweekly, but this brief record does not show whether that schedule or payment amount will continue.

Investor takeaway: For Canadian investors reviewing QLDY.US, the six increases are a snapshot of recent payments, not evidence of a lasting dividend-growth trend. The supplied trailing yield is 2709.75%, a historical figure that does not guarantee future income. ETF distributions can change, and the available information does not establish future payments.

Six detected increases

The record lists 13 payments over about 0.1 years, with six increases detected. The latest listed distribution is CA$0.141, compared with CA$0.139 previously. This count reflects the entries on file, not a long-running annual streak. You can review the QLDY.US distribution history and the history chart on the page, keeping the short coverage period in mind.

Latest distribution and dates

The record lists November 6, 2026, as the ex-dividend and record date, and November 9, 2026, as the payment date. Both dates have passed. The biweekly label describes the supplied record; it does not confirm that future payments will follow the same schedule or remain at the same amount.

What the history shows

The supplied trailing yield is 2709.75%, but it is not a forecast or guaranteed income rate. The available information does not include a payout ratio or establish what future distributions will be. Canadian investors can treat the six detected increases as a limited historical snapshot, not proof of sustained dividend growth.
