At today’s rate of $0.53 quarterly and the last close of $44.62, this is what CUBE pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.53 | $0.18 | $2.12 |
| 100 shares | $53.00 | $17.67 | $212.00 |
| $10,000 invested (224.1 shares) | $118.78 | $39.59 | $475.12 |
| 2,831 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.43 | $500.14 | $6,001.72 |
| 5,661 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.33 | $1,000.11 | $12,001.32 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 CUBE shares reinvest into 1.19 new shares each payment, about 4.8 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 85 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

CUBE Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 4.22%, so today’s yield is above 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 CUBE’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026
CUBE 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 1, 2027, with the cash around Jan 3, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.53 a share, went ex on Oct 1, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 92 days (quarterly)

Does CUBE pay a dividend in January 2027?
Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Jan 1, 2027, with the cash around Jan 3, 2027, so a payment in January 2027 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.

Is CUBE’s dividend safe?

It has raised its dividend 15 years in a row and gone 16 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2020 and 2022 crashes; it cut it in the 2008 crash. There is no 2000 record on file. This is data, not investment advice. The full 12-check rating comes with a plan.

Add CUBE to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count.
