If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. Pace: +4.76% a year, its typical raise over the last 5 years. Special payments are left out. Today's $1.92 a year would be $2.42 by 2031 - 4.99% on today's $48.53 price.

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

At $1.92 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,125 CNA shares, about $151,656 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $48.53. $1,000 a month takes about 6,250 shares, about $303,313. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

CNA Financial (CNA) pays $0.48 a share quarterly, $1.92 a year, a 3.96% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $48.53. A special dividend of $2.48 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has paid since 2007 and raised its annual dividend 2 years in a row.

At today’s rate of $0.48 quarterly and the last close of $48.53, this is what CNA pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.48$0.16$1.92
100 shares$48.00$16.00$192.00
$10,000 invested (206.1 shares)$98.91$32.97$395.63
3,125 shares ($500/mo)$1,500.00$500.00$6,000.00
6,250 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 CNA shares reinvest into 0.99 new shares each payment, about 4.0 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 102 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 CNA’s own history in the CNA DRIP calculator.

CNA Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

69/100Above its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • CNA yields 3.96% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $48.53.
  • Its own 10-year median is 3.59%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
3.13% low4.57% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

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.

  • Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)

CNA vs Similar Dividend Stocks (FUTU, AFGC...)

Against the 10 dividend-paying Financial Services companies closest to CNA in market value, CNA’s 3.96% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 2.91%, and its raise streak of 2 years is the 5th 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 13, 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 8 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.
