Annual dividends and growth
Total paid per share in each calendar year; 2026 YTD is paid so far, the amounts vary too much to estimate the rest. Years with an extra or a missing payment (dates sliding across New Year) are compared per payment. Totals include specials; the growth line leaves them out.
Next 5 years if the pace holds
If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. Pace: +23.13% a year, its typical raise over the last 5 years. 1 one-off jump of 2x or more is left out. Special payments are left out. Capped at 20% a year. From 2029 it slows by a quarter each year. Today's $0.96 a year would be $1.93 by 2031 - 4.98% on today's $38.64 price.

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

At $0.96 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 6,225 FCVSX shares, about $240,534 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $38.64. $1,000 a month takes about 12,449 shares, about $481,029. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Fidelity Convertible Securities Fund (FCVSX) pays $0.241 a share quarterly, $0.96 a year, a 2.49% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $38.64. A special dividend of $3.347 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 made 166 dividend payments since 1987.

At today’s rate of $0.241 quarterly and the last close of $38.64, this is what FCVSX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.241$0.08$0.96
100 shares$24.10$8.03$96.40
$10,000 invested (258.8 shares)$62.37$20.79$249.48

12,449 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.21$1,000.07$12,000.84

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FCVSX shares reinvest into 0.62 new shares each payment, about 2.5 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 161 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FCVSX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

59/100Near its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • FCVSX yields 2.49% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $38.64.
  • Its own 10-year median is 2.25%, 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.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.99% low5.23% 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.

When Is FCVSX’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026

FCVSX has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 95 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Jan 5, 2027, with the cash around Jan 8, 2027.

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.
