85% NAV decline, but 16.87% annualized return with DRIP.
YieldMax's MIST option income ETF (MSTY) has declined 85% in value in just over 2 years, yet dividend reinvestment yields a 16.87% annualized return.
Despite MIST stock's downturn and MSTY's severe NAV erosion of 85% with a 1:5 reverse split, reinvested distributions generate a 16.87% average annual return. This demonstrates that high yields can compensate for capital losses.
