If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. No usable raise on record, so the pace is 0%. Today's $0.60 a year would stay $0.60 by 2031 - 1.96% on today's $30.54 price.

How Many CCL Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $0.60 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 10,000 CCL shares, about $305,400 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $30.54. $1,000 a month takes about 20,000 shares, about $610,800. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Carnival Corporation (CCL) pays $0.15 a share quarterly, $0.60 a year, a 1.96% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $30.54. It has made 131 dividend payments since 1988.

At today’s rate of $0.15 quarterly and the last close of $30.54, this is what CCL pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.15$0.05$0.60
100 shares$15.00$5.00$60.00
$10,000 invested (327.4 shares)$49.12$16.37$196.46
10,000 shares ($500/mo)$1,500.00$500.00$6,000.00
20,000 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 CCL shares reinvest into 0.49 new shares each payment, about 2.0 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 204 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

CCL Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Reset by the 2025 cut
  • CCL yields 1.96% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $30.54.
  • A cut in 2025 skews its yield history. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.

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.

When Is CCL’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

CCL has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Feb 5, 2027, with the cash around Feb 27, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.15 a share, went ex on Nov 6, 2026 and pays Nov 27, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
  • Payment: usually about 22 days after the ex-date
  • Next earnings report: Dec 18, 2026

Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

CCL vs Similar Dividend Stocks (VLKPF, DHI...)

Against the 10 dividend-paying Consumer Cyclical companies closest to CCL in market value, CCL’s 1.96% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 2.69%, and its raise streak of 0 years is the 7th longest. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 10, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 12 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
