At today’s rate of $0.22 quarterly and the last close of $30.14, this is what CMDT pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.22 | $0.07 | $0.88 |
| 100 shares | $22.00 | $7.33 | $88.00 |
| $10,000 invested (331.8 shares) | $72.99 | $24.33 | $291.97 |
| 6,819 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.18 | $500.06 | $6,000.72 |
| 13,637 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.14 | $1,000.05 | $12,000.56 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 CMDT shares reinvest into 0.73 new shares each payment, about 3.0 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 137 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

CMDT Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- CMDT yields 2.92% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $30.14.
- Its own 3-year median is 3.17%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: a recent payout drop skews its yield history. So this reads today’s yield against its own 3-year history as it is.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 3 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.
