Fidelity 500 Index (FXAIX) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 62 recorded FXAIX dividend payments, running from October 7, 2011 to July 10, 2026 — 16 calendar years. Together those payments total $30.14 per share. FXAIX has most often paid quarterly.
FXAIX has increased its payment rate for 4 consecutive complete years.
Over the last five complete years the FXAIX payment rate compounded at +5.0% a year. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.
Across 16 years of recorded history, FXAIX's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.
FXAIX 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 FXAIX's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
