If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. Pace: +5% a year, from its one usable raise, held to 5% at most. Today's $0.36 a year would be $0.46 by 2031 - 1.12% on today's $41.04 price.

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

At $0.36 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 16,667 CNK shares, about $684,014 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $41.04. $1,000 a month takes about 33,334 shares, about $1,368,027. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Cinemark Holdings (CNK) pays $0.09 a share quarterly, $0.36 a year, a 0.88% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $41.04. It has made 58 dividend payments since 2007.

At today’s rate of $0.09 quarterly and the last close of $41.04, this is what CNK pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.09$0.03$0.36
100 shares$9.00$3.00$36.00

33,334 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.06$1,000.02$12,000.24

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 CNK shares reinvest into 0.22 new shares each payment, about 0.9 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 456 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 CNK’s own history in the CNK DRIP calculator.

CNK Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Reset by the 2024 cut
  • CNK yields 0.88% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $41.04.
  • A cut in 2024 skews its yield history. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
Since Mar 2025: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.92% low1.55% high
Blue mark = today. A higher yield means a lower price against the payout.

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 CNK’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After August 2026

CNK has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 92 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 26, 2026, with the cash around Nov 29, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 92 days (quarterly)

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.
