Sharing May 2026 YieldMax Funds Analysis Result
I updated my tracking sheet again for this group of high-yield ETFs.
I’m not using this as a “highest yield = best fund” ranking. I’m mainly checking whether the income looks supported by price trend and total return, because some of these funds can show very large distributions while still having weak price behavior.
A few things I’m tracking:
- Dividend TTM — trailing 12-month distribution rate
- Price CAGR — price growth/decline over the evaluation window
- Total Return CAGR — return including distributions
- Payout Support Risk — whether the payout looks supported by recent price / total-return behavior
- Stability — price behavior based on volatility, drawdown, and beta
- MoM change — how the metrics shifted vs the prior snapshot
A few names stood out to me:
MSTY still shows a very high Dividend TTM at 218.47%, but also has -49.77% price CAGR and elevated payout support risk. That’s exactly why I don’t like looking at yield by itself.
CONY is even more extreme: 197.35% Dividend TTM, but -52.62% price CAGR. The income number is huge, but the price trend is doing a lot of damage.
CHPY looks better on total return in this snapshot, with 29.18% Dividend TTM, 79.01% price CAGR, and 166.31% total return CAGR, while payout support risk is marked low.
SOXY also stands out with strong price and total-return numbers, but the Dividend TTM is much lower than the very high-yield names.
