| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|

| 35,295 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.08 | $1,000.03 | $12,000.30 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 CURI shares reinvest into 3.59 new shares each payment, about 15.1 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 28 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

CURI Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- CURI yields 14.35% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $2.37.
- Its own 2-year median is 8.42%, so today’s yield is well above its usual level.
- No steady norm: under 3 years of regular payments on file. So this reads today’s yield against its own 2-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 2 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.
