House verdict
Growth holding — not income. QQQ sits in the House as the growth sleeve, but the card scores it honestly: the dividend is a rounding error. Judge it on total return or not at all.
✓Coverage check:Payout ratios at the big constituents are low; the small dividend is in no danger.
!Yield check:~0.45% fails the income test — correctly. This card exists so nobody mistakes QQQ for a payer.
QQQ in the House
Room: Tech Infrastructure — one of the House's own holdings, held at a 12% target weight. Target 12% — the growth engine room. Held for total return; whatever dividend shows up is incidental.
Every card is graded the same way and re-checked against the company's own filings. The Weekly House Score reports whatever crosses a House threshold; the House Tracker is the spreadsheet the framework itself runs on.
