With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DFGR shares reinvest into 0.85 new shares each payment, about 3.4 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 118 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

DFGR Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- DFGR yields 3.40% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $28.83.
- Its own 3-year median is 2.64%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 3-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 3 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.
