Published on 10/05/2026 at 18:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSInvesco Municipal Trust (US46131J1034) declared a monthly distribution of USD 0.0628 per share on October 1, 2026, according to PR Newswire. The distribution places VKQ stock at the center of the fund's latest income update, with the ex-date and record date set for October 14, 2026, and payment scheduled for October 30, 2026.
Dividend dates set for October
The USD 0.0628 payment is the latest monthly distribution listed for Invesco Municipal Trust. PR Newswire also states that part of the distribution is estimated to come from a return of principal rather than net investment income, while the final tax characterization for 2026 will be determined after year-end.
The distribution schedule gives investors three concrete dates: October 14, 2026 for the ex-date, October 14, 2026 for the record date and October 30, 2026 for payment. The fund's release also cautions that distribution amounts may change over time.
Market value stays below yearly high
At the NYSE, VKQ was trading at USD 8.47 at 11:53 a.m. ET on October 5, 2026, down USD 0.13, or 1.51 percent, from the USD 8.60 prior close. The same session showed volume of 185,896 shares against an average volume of 219,268 shares.
VKQ's USD 8.25 to USD 10.11 52-week range puts the latest price USD 1.64 below the yearly high and USD 0.22 above the yearly low. That spread matters because a closed-end fund's market price can diverge from the value of its underlying municipal securities.
