Vanguard Morningstar Small-Cap Growth ETF (VBK) Dividend History

DivTrkr holds 64 recorded VBK dividend payments, running from December 22, 2004 to September 28, 2026 — 23 calendar years. Together those payments total $20.77 per share. VBK has most often paid quarterly.

VBK has increased its payment rate for 2 consecutive complete years.

Over the last five complete years the VBK payment rate compounded at +8.6% a year. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.

Across 23 years of recorded history, VBK's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.

VBK 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.

VBK dividends by year

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 VBK's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
