Fidelity Mid Cap Index (FSMDX) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 29 recorded FSMDX dividend payments, running from June 8, 2012 to December 19, 2025 — 14 calendar years. Together those payments total $7.58 per share. FSMDX has most often paid semi-annually.
FSMDX's payment rate did not increase in the most recent complete year, so its growth streak currently stands at zero.
Over the last five complete years the FSMDX payment rate compounded at -8.5% a year, and -5.3% a year over the last ten. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.
FSMDX's payment rate fell in 2022, 2025. The steepest drop was -49.9%.
FSMDX is a fund, so its distribution is set from what the strategy earned in the period rather than by a board committing to a rate — payments move around by design. Only declines steeper than 25% are treated as material here, because smaller swings are routine rather than a change of policy.

How this growth is measured
Year-over-year growth here compares each year's median payment with the year before, not the calendar-year total. Ex-dividend dates drift, so a quarterly payer can book five ex-dates in one calendar year and four in the next. Comparing raw yearly totals would show a phantom cut of around 25% in a year where the company did nothing but pay slightly earlier. Using the median payment removes that distortion, and also ignores one-off special dividends.
Years marked “timing” booked a different number of payments than FSMDX's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
