Short answer: SGOV closed at $100.66 on Oct 23, 2026. Over the past 52 weeks its NAV ranged only from $100.27 to $100.73, a 0.46% band. That stability is by design: SGOV pays out its interest monthly instead of letting the price grow.

The SGOV sawtooth: why the price rises, then drops

Every day, the Treasury bills SGOV holds move a little closer to maturity and earn a day’s interest. That interest accumulates in the fund, nudging the NAV up by roughly the daily yield. On the ex-dividend date at the start of each month, the accumulated income is distributed and the NAV drops by about the distribution amount. On a chart, this produces a small sawtooth that repeats every month.

A practical consequence: buying just before the ex-date and selling right after does not earn free money. You receive the distribution but the price falls by about the same amount, and the distribution is taxable.

Price vs NAV

The NAV is the value of SGOV’s holdings per share, calculated by iShares at 4:00 pm ET. The market price is what buyers and sellers pay on the exchange. Because SGOV is very large ($116,778,844,862 in net assets) and its holdings are easy to value, authorized participants keep the price extremely close to NAV. The latest premium/discount was 0.00%.

Frequently asked questions

What is SGOV’s stock price today?

SGOV closed at $100.66 on Oct 23, 2026, per iShares. We show official end-of-day data, not a live quote. For an intraday price, check your brokerage.

Why does SGOV’s price stay around $100?

SGOV holds Treasury bills that mature within about three months and pays out the interest they earn each month. Because the income is distributed rather than kept, and the holdings are so short-term that interest-rate changes barely affect their value, the share price has no long-term upward trend.

Why does SGOV’s price drop at the start of each month?

Interest accrues daily inside the fund, so the price creeps up during the month. On the ex-dividend date that accrued income is paid out and the price falls by roughly the distribution amount (most recently $0.3005 per share). The cycle then repeats.

Will SGOV’s price go up over time?

Not meaningfully. SGOV’s return comes almost entirely from its monthly distributions. Someone expecting the share price to grow like a stock fund will be disappointed; someone looking for a stable price plus monthly income is getting what the fund is designed to do.
