How Many FCF Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.56 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 10,715 FCF shares, about $224,051 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $20.91. $1,000 a month takes about 21,429 shares, about $448,080. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
First Commonwealth Financial (FCF) pays $0.14 a share quarterly, $0.56 a year, a 2.68% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $20.91. It has paid since 1992 and raised its annual dividend 9 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.14 quarterly and the last close of $20.91, this is what FCF pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.14 | $0.05 | $0.56 |
| 100 shares | $14.00 | $4.67 | $56.00 |
| $10,000 invested (478.2 shares) | $66.95 | $22.32 | $267.81 |
| 10,715 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.10 | $500.03 | $6,000.40 |
| 21,429 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.06 | $1,000.02 | $12,000.24 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FCF shares reinvest into 0.67 new shares each payment, about 2.7 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 150 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FCF Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FCF yields 2.68% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $20.91.
- Its own 10-year median is 3.07%, 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 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.
When Is FCF’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

- Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
- Payment: usually about 3 days after the ex-date

FCF vs Similar Dividend Stocks (SRCE, BBAR...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Financial Services companies closest to FCF in market value, FCF’s 2.68% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 3.25%, and its raise streak of 9 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.

It has raised its dividend 9 years in a row and gone 16 years without a cut. This is data, not investment advice. The full 7-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my FCF dividends?
Add FCF to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run FCF in the DRIP calculator.
