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

At $3.22 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 1,862 FBMPX shares, about $255,094 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $137.00. $1,000 a month takes about 3,723 shares, about $510,051. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Fidelity Select Multimedia Portfolio (FBMPX) pays $1.612 a share twice a year, $3.22 a year, a 2.35% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $137.00.

At today’s rate of $1.612 twice a year and the last close of $137.00, this is what FBMPX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year

3,723 shares ($1,000/mo)$6,001.48$1,000.25$12,002.95

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FBMPX shares reinvest into 1.18 new shares each payment, about 2.4 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 85 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FBMPX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

37/100Below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • FBMPX yields 2.35% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $137.00.
  • Its own 10-year median is 4.21%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
2.22% low6.66% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-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 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.

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to FBMPX in fund size, FBMPX’s 2.35% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 3.18%.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 11, 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 3 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.
