| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.173 | $0.03 | $0.35 |
| 100 shares | $17.30 | $2.88 | $34.60 |
| $10,000 invested (384.3 shares) | $66.49 | $11.08 | $132.97 |
| 17,342 shares ($500/mo) | $3,000.17 | $500.03 | $6,000.33 |
| 34,683 shares ($1,000/mo) | $6,000.16 | $1,000.03 | $12,000.32 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FBCVX shares reinvest into 0.66 new shares each payment, about 1.3 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 151 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FBCVX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FBCVX yields 1.33% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $26.02.
- Its own 10-year median is 1.27%, 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 10-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 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.
