STXK trims its quarterly dividend by 16.8%

The EA Series Trust Strive Small-Cap ETF went ex-dividend on September 28, 2026, paying $0.0971 per share — down from $0.1167 paid on June 29, a cut of 16.81%. Holders on the record date receive the reduced cash distribution.

Short interest here is negligible at well under 0.1% of free float, so the dividend mechanics for short sellers — who must pay distributions in lieu on borrowed shares — are immaterial in practice. Cost to borrow stands at 12.0%, though with only 175 shares reported short and 0.02 days to cover, borrow-market dynamics are not a relevant factor for this ETF.
