Published on 09/25/2026 at 07:22 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
PIMCO Corporate & Income Strategy Fund stock carries a USD 0.112500 monthly distribution and was quoted at USD 10.71 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026. The payment is scheduled for October 1, 2026, giving income investors a concrete calendar date.
Monthly payment stays central
According to Nasdaq on September 1, 2026, PCN's common shareholders of record on September 11 were scheduled to receive the distribution on October 1, with September 11 as the ex-dividend date. The release calculated an annualized distribution rate of 11.85% against NAV and 11.60% against market price, using July 31, 2026 values.
The rate is a distribution measure rather than a performance measure. The release also states that distributions may include ordinary income, net capital gains, or return of capital, making the composition as important as the headline payment.
Returns favor NAV investors
PCN's latest annual shareholder report, covering the year ended June 30, 2026, showed a 9.22% NAV total return and a 5.35% market-price total return. Stock Titan reported that the comparable ICE BofA US High Yield Index returned 5.75% for the same period, putting PCN's NAV result 3.47 percentage points above the benchmark.
A separate July 31, 2026 comparison showed a 7.57% one-year NAV return against a 3.15% market-price return. That spread highlights how the traded share price can lag the underlying portfolio result.
PCN remains below its yearly high
On September 24, 2026, the NYSE quote of USD 10.71 stood 20.61% below PCN's 52-week high of USD 13.49 and 1.42% above its 52-week low of USD 10.56. Market capitalization was USD 800,262,981 on the same quote date.
