How Many FCBC Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.32 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 4,546 FCBC shares, about $206,843 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $45.50. $1,000 a month takes about 9,091 shares, about $413,641. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
First Community Bankshares (FCBC) pays $0.33 a share quarterly, $1.32 a year, a 2.90% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $45.50. A special dividend of $1.00 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has paid since 1995 and raised its annual dividend 6 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.33 quarterly and the last close of $45.50, this is what FCBC pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.33 | $0.11 | $1.32 |
| 100 shares | $33.00 | $11.00 | $132.00 |
| $10,000 invested (219.8 shares) | $72.53 | $24.18 | $290.11 |
| 4,546 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.18 | $500.06 | $6,000.72 |
| 9,091 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.03 | $1,000.01 | $12,000.12 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FCBC shares reinvest into 0.73 new shares each payment, about 2.9 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 138 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FCBC Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 7-year median is 3.41%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 7 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.

FCBC vs Similar Dividend Stocks (ORRF, EIG...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Financial Services companies closest to FCBC in market value, FCBC’s 2.90% run-rate yield is close to the group’s middle yield of 2.79%, and its raise streak of 6 years is the 4th 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.
