How Many AGM Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $6.40 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 938 AGM shares, about $166,823 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $177.85. $1,000 a month takes about 1,875 shares, about $333,469. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Federal Agricultural Mortgage (AGM) pays $1.60 a share quarterly, $6.40 a year, a 3.60% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $177.85. It has paid since 2004 and raised its annual dividend 14 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $1.60 quarterly and the last close of $177.85, this is what AGM pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $1.60 | $0.53 | $6.40 |
| 100 shares | $160.00 | $53.33 | $640.00 |
| $10,000 invested (56.2 shares) | $89.96 | $29.99 | $359.85 |
| 938 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.80 | $500.27 | $6,003.20 |
| 1,875 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 AGM shares reinvest into 0.90 new shares each payment, about 3.6 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 112 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

AGM Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 3.21%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Dec 15, 2026, with the cash around Dec 17, 2026, so a payment in December 2026 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.

Is AGM’s dividend safe?

It has raised its dividend 14 years in a row and gone 16 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2020 and 2022 crashes; it cut it in the 2008 (in 2009) crash. There is no 2000 record on file. This is data, not investment advice. The full 8-check rating comes with a plan.
