📣 $SCHD Q2 Dividend Estimate Gets a Major Upgrade Great news! After going back through the numbers to update my official estimate for the recent $UNH dividend increase, I found several pleasant surprises that significantly improved the outlook for the Q2 payout. 💰 New Estimate: $0.2743/share🤩 If correct, this would mean: 🟢 +5.42% vs Q2 2025 ($0.2602) 🏆 Third-highest quarterly dividend payout in $SCHD history 📈 Trailing 12-month dividend would increase from approximately $1.0557 to $1.0698 📅 Ex-Dividend: June 24 📅 Pay Date: June 29 What changed? The obvious boost came from $UNH’s recent 5% dividend increase, but that wasn’t the only factor. I also discovered several dividend increases that were not fully reflected in my original estimate: • $PAYX +10% • $FHI +12% • $BANR +4% • $SRCE +7.5% • $CWEN continues to raise its dividend by approximately 1.6% each quarter, though my dividend tool has not yet updated. Another surprise, however, came from the March reconstitution. In my original estimate, it appeared several of the newly added holdings would miss the cutoff for the June distribution. After a much deeper review, it now looks like all of the new additions should be included in this payout. 🤩 Examples: • $KFY was added to $SCHD on March 20, and its April dividend appears to qualify for this distribution. • $CMC was also added during the March reconstitution, and its April dividend should be included as well. Taken together, these updates added up to a much more favorable outcome than I originally expected and helped drive the upward revision. 📌 As always, this is still an educated estimate based on available data. The actual dividend could come in higher or lower. What’s your prediction? ⬆️ Higher than $0.2743 ⬇️ Lower than $0.2743

📣 SCHD STAN’s Official Q2 2026 $SCHD Dividend Estimate After reviewing the dividend announcements, payout schedules, and the impact of the March reconstitution, my estimate for the upcoming $SCHD dividend is: 💰 $0.2629/share If correct, this would mean: 🟢 +1.04% vs Q2 2025 ($0.2602) 📈 Trailing 12-month dividend would increase from approximately $1.0557 to $1.0584 📅 Ex-Dividend: June 24 📅 Pay Date: June 29 One of the biggest questions this quarter is timing. Several of the new $SCHD additions have dividend record dates that fall very close to the fund’s Q2 cutoff date. Earlier, I was concerned this could create a meaningful headwind for the June payout. After updating the numbers, the picture looks a bit better. It appears only about 3 of the new additions are likely to miss the Q2 cutoff, while most of the new holdings should contribute as expected. That doesn’t completely eliminate the headwind, but it does suggest the impact may be smaller than initially feared. A few observations: • Despite some payout timing issues from new holdings, SCHD still appears on track to post year over year dividend growth. • Several dividend increases from existing holdings helped offset some of the challenges. • The bigger story could be Q3. Once the new holdings are fully reflected in SCHD’s dividend stream, the September payout could benefit from having fewer timing-related issues. 📌 As always, this is research-based, but it’s still just an educated estimate. The actual dividend could come in higher or lower. What’s your prediction? ⬆️ Higher than $0.2629 ⬇️ Lower than $0.2629
