SCHD is still growing its dividend in 2026.

But through the first three quarters, it’s ahead of 2025 by just 0.84%, the smallest positive Q3 lead in the fund’s history.

Now, everything comes down to the final dividend of the year.

In this video, I break down exactly what SCHD needs to pay in Q4 to:

• Match its 2025 dividend

• Produce positive dividend growth

• Reach my current Q4 estimate

• Avoid setting a new low for annual dividend growth

My current base estimate for the Q4 distribution is $0.2836 per share, but the key number is $0.3113.

That’s approximately what SCHD needs to pay to reach its previous minimum annual dividend-growth rate of 3.78%.

So how unusual could SCHD’s 2026 dividend growth actually be?

Let’s look at the numbers.
