Vanguard MStar Mid Cap Index Admiral (VIMAX) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 66 recorded VIMAX dividend payments, running from December 26, 2003 to September 28, 2026 — 24 calendar years. Together those payments total $57.43 per share. VIMAX has most often paid quarterly.
VIMAX has increased its payment rate for 4 consecutive complete years.
Over the last five complete years the VIMAX payment rate compounded at +9.7% a year. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.
Across 24 years of recorded history, VIMAX's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.
VIMAX 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 VIMAX's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
