How Many CSL Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $5.00 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 1,200 CSL shares, about $476,856 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $397.38. $1,000 a month takes about 2,400 shares, about $953,712. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Carlisle Companies (CSL) pays $1.25 a share quarterly, $5.00 a year, a 1.26% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $397.38. It has paid since 1987 and raised its annual dividend 38+ years in a row, one of the 56 Dividend Kings.
At today’s rate of $1.25 quarterly and the last close of $397.38, this is what CSL pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $1.25 | $0.42 | $5.00 |
| 100 shares | $125.00 | $41.67 | $500.00 |
| $10,000 invested (25.2 shares) | $31.46 | $10.49 | $125.82 |
| 1,200 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 2,400 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 CSL shares reinvest into 0.31 new shares each payment, about 1.3 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 318 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

CSL Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- CSL yields 1.26% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $397.38.
- Its own 10-year median is 1.28%, 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 CSL’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After August 2026
CSL has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 18, 2026, with the cash around Nov 20, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $1.25 a share, went ex on Aug 19, 2026 and paid Aug 21, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
- Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date
- Next earnings report: Feb 2, 2027
Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

CSL vs Similar Dividend Stocks (WCC, ZTO...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Industrials companies closest to CSL in market value, CSL’s 1.26% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 0.76%, and its raise streak of 38+ 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.
