What the numbers mean
Payout ratio is not reported for DGRO because it is a fund rather than an operating company — an ETF distributes the income it collects from its holdings, so there are no company earnings to measure the payout against.
Like most US dividend payers, DGRO distributes quarterly, so a full year of ownership produces four payments.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of fund pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
