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

| 100 shares | $33.88 | $5.65 | $67.77 |
| $10,000 invested (94.4 shares) | $32.00 | $5.33 | $64.00 |

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 EEMA shares reinvest into 0.32 new shares each payment, about 0.6 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 313 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

EEMA Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- EEMA yields 0.64% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $105.88.
- Its own 8-year median is 0.68%, so today’s yield is near 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 8-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 8 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.
