How Many DHI Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.80 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,334 DHI shares, about $496,933 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $149.05. $1,000 a month takes about 6,667 shares, about $993,716. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
D.R. Horton (DHI) pays $0.45 a share quarterly, $1.80 a year, a 1.21% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $149.05. It has paid since 1993 and raised its annual dividend 11 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.45 quarterly and the last close of $149.05, this is what DHI pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.45 | $0.15 | $1.80 |
| 100 shares | $45.00 | $15.00 | $180.00 |
| $10,000 invested (67.1 shares) | $30.19 | $10.06 | $120.76 |
| 3,334 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.30 | $500.10 | $6,001.20 |
| 6,667 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.15 | $1,000.05 | $12,000.60 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DHI shares reinvest into 0.30 new shares each payment, about 1.2 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 332 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

DHI Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 1.13%, 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.

DHI vs Similar Dividend Stocks (CCL, VLKPF...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Consumer Cyclical companies closest to DHI in market value, DHI’s 1.21% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 2.74%, and its raise streak of 11 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.

It has raised its dividend 11 years in a row and gone 12 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2000, 2020 and 2022 crashes; it cut it in the 2008 crash. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my DHI dividends?
Add DHI to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run DHI in the DRIP calculator.
