How Many DLY Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $1.40 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 4,274 DLY shares, about $57,742 at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $13.51. $1,000 a month takes about 8,548 shares, about $115,483. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

DoubleLine Yield Opportunities Fund (DLY) pays $0.117 a share monthly, $1.40 a year, a 10.39% run-rate yield at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $13.51. It has made 79 distribution payments since 2020.

At today’s rate of $0.117 monthly and the last close of $13.51, this is what DLY pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.117$0.12$1.40
100 shares$11.70$11.70$140.40

8,548 shares ($1,000/mo)$1,000.12$1,000.12$12,001.39

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DLY shares reinvest into 0.87 new shares each payment, about 10.9 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 116 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with DLY’s own history in the DLY DRIP calculator.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 9, 2026, DLY paid $1.40 a share while its share price fell from $14.79 to $13.51. Distributions exceeded total return by $1.28 a share, so part of every payment above was your own money coming back.

DLY Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

80/100Above its usual yieldvs its 6-yr history
  • DLY yields 10.39% today, at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $13.51.
  • Its own 6-year median is 9.06%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
7.49% low14.50% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 6-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report

How it works. Each month-end over the last 6 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 DLY’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026

DLY has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual rhythm of about 28 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 11, 2026, with the cash around Nov 26, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.117 a share, went ex on Oct 14, 2026 and paid around October 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 28 days (monthly)
  • Payment: usually about 15 days after the ex-date

Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

How Often Does DLY Pay?

DLY pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 28 days, and the cash usually lands about 15 days later.

DLY vs Similar Dividend Funds (GLDIX, FLDGX...)

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to DLY in fund size, DLY’s 10.39% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 3.19%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular distribution per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 9, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 6 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
