Anyone Have Fidelity Index Funds Which Failed To Pay June Dividends?

[scrabbler1]

I follow 2 Fidelity stock index funds which have been paying dividends in June and December each year. One of them, FLCOX (Large Cap Value), I own. The other, FSMDX (Mid-Cap Index), my (snake-bit) friend owns.

I have been in FLCOX since 2020 and it always paid a dividend in June, moving from early June to late June back in 2022. My friend has been in FSMDX since 2013 and it, too, moved its June dividend date from early June to late June in 2022.

Both funds paid a decent DPS every year although they varied some. But this June, nothing. Are the distribution dates postponed or are they just not paying anything? I have asked Fidelity reps several time in the last week. They don't know. I have never asked anyone at their more specialized trading desk because their hours are limited. When I ask the question in Google, AI has nothing to add.

I have another fund, FXAIX (S&P 500 Index) with a dividend distribution date next week. I wonder if it will pay out normally or will it show nothing.

Anyone else here see no Fidelity dividends in their funds recently, whether they are the ones I mentioned or other ones?

Both of mine paid normally (SPAXX, FDRXX) in Fidelity.

I got all my Fidelity dividends, but I don’t own these funds. Go to the funds summary page under distributions and they will show the pay date.

My Fido index stock funds all pay in April and December. April is usually much smaller tho.

From reviewing ex-div date on Active Trader Pro, it doesn't appear a June dividend distribution was planned this year.

I should add that on Fido's cap gains page, it showed 6/26 as its cap gains distribution date. There was a zero CG planned. I have found that for non-monthly distribution funds, the CG and the Ex-dividend dates have always been the same. So, the "there will be no dividend this time" theory seems to be the most likely one (as opposed to the dividend being postponed).

It seems unusual there was no dividend payout for FSMDX at the end of June. As the stock market is closed today, I would check back on Monday.

At Fidelity, there is no commentary for Q2 2026 - so that's also late.

FYI FSELX, which posted an 80% gain YTD stopped paying dividends on 12/21/23. Also FCNTX Contrafund stopped paying dividends on 12/6/24.

I'm traveling right now. I'll check over the weekend when I get back my laptop.

My Fidelity index funds often skip mid year dividends. I think I only got one from Fidelity Small Cap Index fund this June. None from my mid cap index or total market index or international index.

FXAIX has not skipped a quarter in at least 14 years. Next expected dividend July 14 for an estimated 65 cents a share.

I'm attaching some lists regarding distributions that I found.

So, I didn't see recent distributions on three of the Fidelity funds that I owned. I Googled FXAIX and found a last pay date of April 13, 2026. (I also see that @skipro33 noted it's next distribution date which would be quarterly.)
