What that means in dollars
At 15.00% on the $100 stated amount, one share earns $15.00 a year if every dividend is declared. Yield on your price = (rate × $100) ÷ the price you pay; the table above uses example prices, not TradingView's.

How it's taxed
Last verified: 2026-10-26US holders
We make no return-of-capital claim for SATS. Strive's return-of-capital statements name SATA, not SATS, and we have not found a SATS Form 8937.
- Return-of-capital expectation for SATS
- Form 8937 for SATS
- General rule (SATS prospectus) Dividend to extent of E&P, then tax-free ROC up to basis, then capital gain.
- Qualified dividend status Prospectus risk factor: distributions may not qualify as dividends (QDI/DRD).
- How return of capital works in general (IRS) A nondividend (return-of-capital) distribution reduces basis; it is reported in Form 1099-DIV box 3; once basis reaches zero, further nondividend distributions are capital gain.
Non-US holders
- Default US withholding 30% U.S. withholding on the dividend (E&P) portion paid to non-U.S. persons, or a lower treaty rate with Form W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E.
- Treaty rates Treaty dividend rates are listed by country in the IRS Tax Treaty Tables (Table 1). We don't show a number here.
- Return-of-capital portion IRS Publication 515: a withholding agent may elect not to withhold on the part not paid out of earnings and profits, based on a reasonable estimate. It is optional, so results depend on your broker.
- Form 1042-S ROC (nondividend distribution) is reported on Form 1042-S with income code 37.
- What your broker actually withholds
- US citizens and green-card holders living abroad give their broker Form W-9, not W-8BEN, so non-US withholding doesn't apply to them.
