How Many CHCO Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $4.00 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 1,500 CHCO shares, about $213,480 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $142.32. $1,000 a month takes about 3,000 shares, about $426,960. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
City Holding (CHCO) pays $1.00 a share quarterly, $4.00 a year, a 2.81% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $142.32. It has paid since 1987 and raised its annual dividend 14 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $1.00 quarterly and the last close of $142.32, this is what CHCO pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $1.00 | $0.33 | $4.00 |
| 100 shares | $100.00 | $33.33 | $400.00 |
| $10,000 invested (70.3 shares) | $70.26 | $23.42 | $281.06 |
| 1,500 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 3,000 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 CHCO shares reinvest into 0.70 new shares each payment, about 2.8 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 143 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with CHCO’s own history in the CHCO DRIP calculator.

CHCO Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- CHCO yields 2.81% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $142.32.
- Its own 10-year median is 2.80%, so today’s yield is near 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.
When Is CHCO’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026
CHCO has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 92 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Jan 15, 2027, with the cash around Jan 17, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $1.00 a share, went ex on Oct 15, 2026 and paid Oct 19, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 92 days (quarterly)
- Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date
- Next earnings report: Jan 20, 2027
Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

CHCO vs Similar Dividend Stocks (KMPR, KMPB...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Financial Services companies closest to CHCO in market value, CHCO’s 2.81% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 4.60%, and its raise streak of 14 years is the 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.
